I don't own them, but the books that I take out from the university library are always quite old. One of the books I used for my Renaissance comedy essay was published in 1937 and the books that I'm currently surrounded by now for my Modernism essay (all of which are about Ezra Pound) are mostly from the 50s and 60s.

I was rummaging around in the library the other day and came across a thin book with crispy pages that I was intrigued by when I found it was published around the mid 1800s. Spent a few minutes flicking through it just because it was so old.

I buy a lot of second hand books, so I have quite a few from the 50s, 60s and 70s. They usually have fantastic retro covers, too, which I love.
