Even my very tattered vellum-bound copy of the writings of Seneca (in latin) dated 1643 (the year Isaac Newton was born) which I picked up for a few pence years ago is just about readable with the pages firmly attached to the spine. On the other hand my paperback copy of Roger Penrose's The Road to Reality (2004) is falling to bits with chunks of pages departing from the spine.

You either got very lucky or that thing is not actually from 1643. That book is probably worth tens of thousands of dollars if it's genuine. Extremely unlikely, though :-)
