Some of the more photogenic books whose images i’ve scanned for https://www.fromoldbooks.org/ - a photo i took back in 2007.

Charles Knight’s two-volume “Old England’ on the bottom is what started it all.

A full-page border, or page surround, featuring Christian religious figures, birds, and a crocodile or dragon (which is intended? i am uncertain). It’s from an 1855 edition of Imitation of Christ.

Oh yes. In fact I read a bit about the history of absolute zero when this conversation started. It's fascinating to see how they estimated where the bottom of the scale was, and how they then refined that number over the centuries.

1) När man är mycket gammal har man massor av information i sitt huvud men vet inte vad, eller var man stoppat den.
2) Det praktiska med att vara gammal, glömsk och kontroversiell är att andra också har en massa information om en.
3) Fast eftersom man är glömsk, vet man inte vilken information som går att lita på. Vad gjorde jag 1789? En slumpvis utvald högstadieelev vet bara obetydligt mindre om det än jag. #böcker #books #historia #oldbooks

#fedihelp post#2 in a row (how many does one get in a day?;) #question about #oldbooks - the #german books from 1900-1950 mostly about #art #architecture #history #poetry #knitting #sewing (+an old Singer pedal power sewing machine:)
2Questions a)what would be a best place to sell them (how to know if the price is reasonable?) and 2) some are from the nazi times… the Deutchland book in pic is from 1937 #law people… this is not considered selling nazi heritage is it?;)

@oldbookillustrations I love this book. I think I have a reprint from 1875. Some #illustrations doesn't match the number of the page :ablobabducted: #oldbooks

In 2009, I rescued more than 100 random old books from a skip. Still have 45 of them to sell or give away: https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2025/12/random-old-books-revisited.html

might put them up on #freegle later. #oxford #antiquarian #oldbooks

I've come to the conclusion that this collection of #Schiller's #poetry was printed while the author was still alive, which boggles my mind a bit. I also managed to cobble together a plausible provenance https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2025/12/our-oldest-book.html #oldbooks #antiquarian #familyhistory #antiques
