What books do you have? |

Reps: 4,438 (power: 13) | | | Well, I can't give you any specific titles cause I have all my books packed away right now. But I have a lot of old school books. Mostly history books and reading but my favorite is a math book(i think from the 1860's) with a slate in the back cover. I also have some religious books and a few odds and ends. I like the stuff that is kinda odd. Like I have a book that details the trial of a murder, and so old census books.Also many old hymnals and song books. Since I just collect as a personal hobby I can't justify spending losts of money on the books so I mostly have garage sale stuff and some lucky finds. |

I would be interested in any old magazines or books pertaining to Bible archaeology. If you have any or run across any, send me a PM.
Some of the earlier Middle East archaeological dig results (pre-1950) were published on mimeograph rather than published in book form, and if you run across them, most are quite valuable.

Reps: 15 (power: 0) | | I have a couple random books from the late 1800's and early 1900's that I've picked up here and there. My Favorite an "omnibus" volume covering everything from proper care of family livestock to popular parlor games. 
I usually go for stuff from the 1930's through the 1950's. Popular Science and Popular Mechanics publications and early science fiction, especially.
