Miniature Book Charms Showcase First Edition Dust Jackets of Classical Literature

California-based boutique Charmed Books’ passion for beautiful and forgotten, vintage pieces of art have redirected their love for classical craftsmanship into creating miniature replicas of the world’s most beloved literary masterpieces. Featuring first edition book covers inspired by antique 1930’s charm, the pieces feature a popular quote from the respective book’s text alongside original illustration on the back.

Composed of sturdy brass, texturized paper to replicate early book bindings, and weather-proofed images, the tiny books measure anywhere from 1 inch to 5/8 inches high. The magical charms feature our favorites from Pride & Prejudice, The Great Gatsby, and other children’s classics, including The Velveteen Rabbit, To Kill a Mockingbird and The Little Prince among others. You can find their entire collection in their Etsy shop.

sylvia plath quotes for the signs:

aries: “i have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. or i can go mad by ricocheting in between.” 

taurus: “the floor seemed wonderfully solid. it was comforting to know i had fallen and could fall no farther.”  

gemini: “i want to live and feel all the shades, tones, and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. and i am horribly limited.”

cancer: “perhaps some day i’ll crawl back home, beaten and defeated. but not as long as i can make stories out of my heartbreak; beauty out of sorrow.”

leo: “i want to taste and glory in each day; to never be afraid to experience pain, to never shut myself up in a numb core of non-feeling, or to stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out.”

virgo: “what horrfies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.” 

libra: “i felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery - air, mountains, trees, people. i thought, ‘this is what it is to be happy.’” 

scorpio: “if the moon smiled, she would resemble you. you leave the same impression of something beautiful, but annihilating.”  

sagittarius: “i wanted change and excitement and to shoot off into all directions myself, like the colored arrows of a fourth of july rocket.”

capricorn: “i took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart: i am, i am, i am.”

aquarius: “i shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. i lift my lids and all is born again.” 

pisces: “here i am, a bundle of past recollections and future dreams, knotted up in a reasonably attractive bundle of flesh. i remember what this flesh has gone through; i dream of what it may go through.”

“Peter Erskine’s “Secrets of the Sun -Solar Spectrum Environmental Art

Millennial Meditations” is a culmination of his interest in the interplay of light, space, and architecture. For thirty years his sculpture has explored the way in which light falls on modulated surfaces. “Secrets of the Sun” uses the emotional impact of art to address the full range of nature from its most elemental expression as pure light to its most complex expression as global ecology.

In “Cromos” and “New Light on Rome” the universal beauty and power of the solar spectrum, one of Nature’s most fundamental forces, is superimposed on the surfaces and structure of some of the most beautiful public buildings in Italy.

Because the sun’s angle, intensity and color continually change with the hour, day, and season, the art, the ancient monuments, the trains and the stations are continually perceived in a fresh, new light.“ - Peter Erskine’s website.
