Observer's Books from the 1950s through 1970s—the pocket-sized guides that defined British curiosity for decades. Published by Frederick Warne from 1937, these books covered everything from birds to aircraft to wildflowers/

They're the William Morris ideal: beautiful and useful. Small enough for a coat pocket, detailed enough to actually teach you something, and after 50+ years, they've aged into objects with genuine character.

These aren't museum pieces. They were designed for children to develop curiosity about the world, and they're still perfectly functional for that purpose—or as decorative spines on a shelf that say something about you.

Each book's condition is listed honestly. All have been read and used, which is exactly as it should be.

Titles vary - we photograph what's currently in stock. 

Size: 14.7 x 9.5 x 1.8cm
