What is the oldest book you own? Mine is our family bible (ironic because no one in our family is really a bible believer) but it is a beautiful piece of art and has our family history in the back in the form of a few pictures and the family tree my dad and I researched.
theresidentromantic How old is it? Are family events recorded in it? 7y
DebBates101 The best I can tell, it is from 1900. There are some family dates recorded in it but no one was very good at doing that. I inherited it and as conservator of it I have taken on the task of filling in the missing pieces up to now. 7y

LauraBrook I have one like that in my attic, and I should really get working on filling in some blanks. After taxes get done. 7y

TheBookgeekFrau Beautiful, both the Bible itself and its history 7y
rachelk It looks absolutely beautiful. My oldest is dated 1876. It‘s also a family inheritance, but mine is a book of poetry written by sisters that I am related to. I‘ll have to post about sometime! 7y
