i have a book printed in 1956!
it’s second hand so it’s not in the best state, plus the way it was printed (in-folio, i think, iirc it’s a technique that’s no longer in use) made it so i have to cut some pages apart to be able to read it
but i treasure it a ton

I don’t have many old books. The oldest book I have would be a few years old. Unless you count the text books that my teacher assigned then probably more than a few years

When at university I bought some books that were around 100 years old, so I guess the oldest one could be around 125 or so by now. Sadly, all my books and stuff still are in Turkey.

Some “Ancient Worlds” book… I actually like it tho ha.
My dad had it when he was young and so I got it… it’s pretty old judging by the looks of it.

No clue. I’m too lazy to check my shelves.
