Earlier this month, we asked our social media followers if they'd set any reading goals or challenges for themselves for 2023. We got some great responses, and will be highlighting recommendations for several of them to keep you inspired! First up: one great response was from a reader who plans to read 20 books by Black women this year. With Black History Month coming up soon, it's a great time to take a page from this reader's book (pun intended)!
This week's rare book spotlight is a special one! This is a first edition copy of Willa Cather's book, My Ántonia. Willa Cather is one of the great American novelists of the early 20th century, so we couldn't wait to share this one with the literary collectors out there!
This Rare Book Thursday, we'd like to feature Henri Rousseau: Archaic Naiveté! This book features the works of French Painter Henri Rousseau that were part of the archaic trend. If you're looking for an ✨aesthetic✨ coffee table book, this is definitely it. A full condition report is available on our website (link in bio.)
Whether you like to reinvent yourself completely in the new year or you are just looking for a few new ways to practice some self care, Uptown has got your back!
Back again to grace your feeds with another rare and collectible book! This week we would like to highlight this copy of the children's classic, A Wrinkle in Time, which has been signed by Madeleine L'Engle herself!
In honor of House Plant Appreciation Day, here are a few of our favorite books on house plants 🪴🌿🌵And don't worry, plant parents - there's plenty more where that came from. We have an entire section for "container gardening!"
