I am getting ready to list a set of books in my
iluvbooks vintage book shop . It is a lovely set that was published in 1940. It has 6 volumes, 3 volumes are from American authors and 3 volumes are from foreign authors. There are so many wonderful short stories. This set would be fun to read and also look beautiful on a bookshelf. Here are some pictures of this set.
You can find this set
