This 1701 book about mythology or how they called "the heathen gods" was an amazing find back in 2006.
The Flatiron bookstore I got this from doesn't even exist anymore...
I can see why. The salesguy told me that the book was from 1801 - not the accurate 1701 the Roman numerals clearly stated... I guess if you work in a bookstore that sells rare and antique books, you would have to know Roman numerals, but... I got this book relatively cheap and who am I to contradict him, especially because he would probably raise the price!!! The book is actually from 1701 like I knew the moment I looked at it!
So, 310 years this year... So awesome, with so many antique engravings... a dream!
Just cannot rotate this one above... dunno why... sorry...
So look at this little pile here:
If you add up the age of these books, you will have more than 700 years... Mind boggling...
