Free Beautifully Illustrated Antique Books

by

Antique books for kids are mostly wonderful classic stories with gorgeous illustrations. The illustrations 100-400 years ago were done in realistic style and look very beautiful. The problem with antique books though, is that they’re often very expensive, might be dusty, and these books are also often fragile.

This DIY project will enable you to enjoy wonderful classic stories with your kids without the dust, stains, risk of ruining a rare book, and moreover, budget-freindly. In fact your cost will only be the cost of printing the pages of the book at home or at a nearby Staples.
