“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
WELCOME to my Collectible Vintage / Antique Books and Novelties Shop~
With each book ordered I also include one of my vintage bookplates for your personal identification of the book once you receive it~
PLEASE NOTE: I do not accept cancellations, once an item has been purchased.
I begin to process the order as soon as possible and prepare it for shipping even if it is not shipped for a few days. It takes time to do this and as with everyone my time is valuable and therefore I can not accept a cancellation. Thank you for your understanding.
If you don't see the book you are searching to find, please contact me as I have thousands of books that are not listed and I may have just the book you are looking to purchase~ ;)
PLEASE Read my POLICIES prior to purchasing one of my items. Thank you~
The Book(s) and items you see in photos will be the book you receive...I take all of my own photos of the listed items.
Please read descriptions carefully, I try to describe my books and their condition to the best of my ability.
PLEASE NOTE: I try my best to give my customers a satisfactory experience at LadyFransLibrary. If you are dissatisfied with your purchase, PLEASE write to me prior to leaving FEEDBACK so that we can try to work something out. FEEDBACK ratings are vital to online business owners and I really work hard at having a 5 star rating by working with my customers to provide good service. Ratings are designed so that you can leave feedback on my service to you and whether or not the book(s) were as I described. Please remember you are purchasing USED VINTAGE Books and that they will not be perfect, yet I do my best to describe them very carefully. Thank you kindly, in advance.
PLEASE NOTE: All of my books come tied with Antique French Rayon Taffetta Ribbon or handmade vintage ribbon, ready for gifting or shelf display~
Upon request, I do gift wrapping with Vintage Music, Atlas, or other ephemera paper, whichever I have in stock at the time of request...I also tie a vintage ribbon around the wrap and will include a note upon request ~
I have collected books and vintage items for many years and began this shop and my former shops with the thought of
clearing some of them out! I have a PASSION for books of all types....here you will find books on BIRDS, Wildlife, Classics, American History, Fiction, Old American Tales, European History, Language Books, Nature, and many other interesting books, along with curious and collectible vintage items~
I have been on ETSY since 2007 with my former shops, LadyFran, and LadyFranCreations and have decided to include other items on my LadyFransLibrary rather than having three shops~
I also have several RARE and Antique books included in my listings and continue to post more regularly, so if you love collecting books have a look~
I specialize in antique and collectible JANE AUSTEN Books and have collected them for many years and will soon be listing more of my own collection~
I also think GAME NIGHTS for family are a wonderful way to draw families closer together and I think RETRO games are awesome, so am selling some of them here also!
You will also find some of my handmade vintage image tags,old prints and vintage playing cards....never know what you might find here at Lady Frans Library....
Please "drop in" and browse awhile...Buyers and Browsers are all welcome!
If you have any questions, please contact me and I will be happy to try and answer to the best of my ability!

5 out of 5 starsShipping was incredibly fast, the store owner was very friendly when i asked questions. Im pretty excited about this book as it has illustrations and all four books. I think that this is a really cool part of history and is now the second oldest book i have in my collection (published in 1941)

5 out of 5 starsI have been colecting highwaymen paintings. It is part of my memories growing up. It was less populated and many things were done by hand. I remember everything.

5 out of 5 starsThis is definitely the most beautiful Jane Austen vintage edition that I own, and I am so fortunate to now have this in my collection. The book itself is in wonderful condition. Shipping was fast and item was expertly packaged to ensure its safe arrival. I particularly adored all the extras included with the book; it felt like opening a very precious birthday gift. Highly recommend this seller. Thank you!!!

5 out of 5 starsWonderful sale. Fantastic book which was very reasonably priced and it arrived quickly. Added bonus of copies of newspaper clippings of Hair and Newton from the 50s; as well as some other small tokens... very appreciated. I grew up on the E Coast of FL in the 50s-60s, so this purchase was very special. Great sale.
