Bookshelf Tour [Partial] - 19th & Early 20th Century Children's Classics

At the request of many viewers, this is the first installment in what could be a lengthy series of bookshelf tour videos. This one covers my favorite bookcase that contains more than 200 rare and vintage children's books, many of which are more than 100 years old. I've been collecting them for more than 40 years.

Each shelf in the video is linked below at the indicated time stamp.
