I learned about older books when I started homeschooling. I learned about McGuffey readers etc. Now when our local library sells the really old dictionaries I buy those. Sounds silly but I almost cried when they did away with the old card catalogs.
“Now when our local library sells the really old dictionaries I buy those.”
I rescued a fantastic old dictionary when we got rid of a lot of old law books at my job. It is truly almost as fat as two NYC telephone books.
It is MINE now, if you know what I mean.
