Hi all.

Just wondering what the oldest book you own is?

You can subdidvide that into SFF and non-SFF if you like.

Also you can inlcude what is the oldest book you have ever seen or handled in the flesh?

My father has a french dictionary from the 1890s handed down from my Grandfather.

I'm currently considering purchasing a series of 3 leather-bound volumes from Holland, published in 1677.

A friend of mine has a full reporduction of the Book Of Kells, which is quite beautiful.
