| Re: What Is The Oldest Book You Own?
The oldest book I own is probably from 1945, well, that's the date on the inscription - it's a birthday present to someone called Yvonne... the book is Selection of the works by Robert Browning and it's a lickle red one published by John Murray.. I did have one that was much older - from the 1800's and it was called The Talisman but it did actually fall apart completely and was therefore recycled...
The oldest book or written document I've seen is the Magna Carta situated in Salisbury Cathedral, it's one of four surviving original copies and was presented to the Cathedral sometime in the 1200's!
