It’s hard not to love these beautiful endpapers from Skazki: Tales and Legends from Old Russia, told by Ida Zeitlin, illustrated by Theodore Nadejen (NY: George H. Doran, 1926), a kids book in our special collections…
Also from Faber Members is this very cute dog on the cover of Milan Kundera’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being. It’ll set you back £50, but how can you resist those eyes?

If, furthermore, you happen to have found £100 in an even older pair of jeans, it’ll buy you a signed and very, very pretty Faber Members (pfffft) edition of Orhan Pamuk’s My Name Is Red.
