What about a slightly old religious text?
Proprium Sactorum Societatis Jesu, Duaci; 1747

And if you enjoy this sort of thing, you might also like this 1918 issue of "The American Printer", which contains an introduction to the principle that eventually led to the German DIN, now International, paper sizes (A4, etc.): the HYPOTENUSE OBLONG.

You know what I always find interesting?
Odd and old cookbooks literally no one heard of like this odd find from 1979?
Let’s see what things they have inside the book.

Love scouting round a second hand bookshop, this time Cornell Books in Tewkesbury.
I can’t resist old travel books, particularly if they contain a map or gorgeous plate drawings.

Enjoying the colourful ghosts featured in Spectropia, a book of optical illusions from 1864, as well as the excellent cover.

I scored some old books on Ebay. Just look at these endpapers! Why is new stuff cheap and shitty, but old stuff is beautiful?

Someone asked for some more recipes from the ledger by a #Newcomerstown, Ohio baker and dated 1905. So here's a few more. #OldLedger #1900s #recipebook #recipe #recipes #Ohio #OldBook #OldBooks #cooking #baking

Another thrift store find by my SO. A ledger dated 1905 and from #Uhrichsville, Ohio that contains a lot of recipes for all kinds of things. Whoever they were they were making a lot of everything. Maybe a restaurant or bakery? #OldLedger #1900s #recipebook #recipe #recipes #Ohio #OldBook #OldBooks #cooking #baking

#Brontosaurus picture from 1913.
It's from a book called "Riesen und Drachen der Vorzeit" (~"Giants and dragons of the past") by Rudolf Bommeli.
(I don't know if the artwork is by the author; so far I haven't found any separate artist credits in the book.)

I never pass up the opportunity to obtain old books! These three need rebinding, which hopefully will be done over the winter. The oldest of these has a preface written in 1898, though there is no publishing date to be found.
