Also love old books. I have a first edition (1791) copy of Introduction to a General Stud Book[1]. That’d be my oldest. Also love old maps. [1] https://en.m.w

  I grew up with a Readers Digest atlas¹ which had reproductions of antique maps on its endpapers. Aside from weird distortions of the shapes of continents, it also had Australia as a peninsula extending from Antarctica. I spent a lot of time studying that old map. ⸻ 1. Speaking of old maps, this atlas had such details as Pakistan and Bangladesh as a single country, Vietnam as two countries, and an extensive section on the then-new concept of plate-tectonics including maps showing prehistoric configurations of the continents.
