Antique & Vintage Children and Illustrated Books

  • Antique:
    An antique book is generally defined as one originating from the 19th century (1800–1899) or earlier, with a general consensus that items at least 100 years old qualify as antiques. 
  • Vintage:
    Vintage books are considered to be items that are at least 25 years old, but less than 100 years old, often with a collector's appeal.
