Box of 1963 Books for Decorating? (Skillman/Princeton)

Give: Box of vintage 1963 hardback books. For decorating? Green leather-like hard covers with yellowed/tanned aged pages. 8.5 x 6 x 1.5. Have seen interior designers take off covers & bind the bundle of pages with ribbon or twine. Or place on bookshelf with book spines at the back & pages at the front. Or stacked in arrangements. 25 (I think) are in the box.
