"Books tell a lot about the person living in the home," a suggestion, when arranging your books, put them in small curated collections that make a personal statement. Adding a clever Bookend that ties into your display's theme create a visual story.
Where do you find Documents? Usually in secondhand stores anywhere. You can pick them up for almost nothing. Some of them I’ve found tucked into old books at these stores. Occasionally I’ll buy from Auctions, but it’s far more fun to discover them organically in some little crate tucked into a junk shop’s back room. I feel like I’m rescuing these documents from being lost forever.
