I’m in the rare books repository at work and there are books here that were printed before Australia was colonised by the europeans.
Ha! They’ll let anything get in here. Aleister Crowley: Confessions. 1929
Inside this much more modern box is a book in Latin, published in 1553!
Here are some saucy tomes!
The Universal Magazine of Knowledge & Pleasure. 1766/7
Blatantly original binding on this collection of The Bulletin from the first half of 1931. Very Art Deco.
Carefully boxed up, a Survey of the cities of London and Wedtminster, Borough of Southwark. 1733-35
@dadegroot Likely not for Southwark, but I'm pretty sure I looked at a copy of these survey books here in London (maybe at the Westminster archive, British Library or somewhere like that). It is lovely to see that these are also in other locations for people to look at the actual printed book.
Next time I'll handle one of those I will think of that. Thanks so much for posting these photos.
