| Re: What Is The Oldest Book You Own? I used to have a large blank journal, with maybe twenty pages having been written on by friends and family of a young woman named Henrietta in the 1850s.
The oldest published book I had was a "first people's edition" of Alice In Wonderland, from about 1882.
I have long since given away both of these as gifts.
Currently the oldest book I have dates from 1936 and is called "George V and Edward VIII - A Royal Souvenir" which has many large photographs showing what a great king Edward will be (tiger hunting etc) |
