I collect books. My oldest book is a text book. It's signed and dated by the previous owner, Feb. 11, 1890.

That is pretty cool. I bought a Bible circa 1900 at a flea market. It has a page stating "Our Public School Bible". What a rare find. Still have it. It is on display at my kids school.

I have a two-volume set of an 1872 Webster’s Dictionary. Paid 99cents for each. This is my best book treasure.
