The South Wood County Historical Museum is searching for antique sets of books, mainly by British authors, for display purposes at the museum.

Hi Alison,
May I recommend Blue Moon Books in Stevens Point? They have a wide selection, including the sort of things you are searching for at reasonable prices.
We have a 10 volume set of Stoddard’s Lectures, copyright 1897 in USA, they have the look, are not British, tales of global travels, set is complete.
Also, a cool 30 volume set of old Encyclopedia Britannica, copyright 1891 by R.S. Peale & Co. Just too beautiful to recycle, dark blue with gold covers and an ink- spattered pattern on edges of bound pages. Again, not British.
I will send photos if interested.
