Extra large vintage dictionary from 1977! Durable leather binding with elegant gold embossing. Once a staple on family bookshelves, now increasingly rare.
This meticulously handcrafted book safe is made from an authentic 1977 Webster Encyclopedic Dictionary, creating an extra-large storage solution with classic sophistication.
🏷️ Donna's Deals: This copy has some splitting on the outside and inside of the spine — a natural sign of its age and years of use. We've secured it with archival glue for durability, and honestly, it just adds to the authenticity and character of this vintage book. Offered at a special price because of this cosmetic quirk.
Published in 1977 by Avenel Books, this comprehensive Webster Encyclopedic Dictionary includes a dictionary of synonyms and twelve supplementary reference sections, making it a complete reference tool.
Made from a real 1977 Webster dictionary with careful attention to detail. The leather binding and gold embossing make this a truly elegant piece.
