Yesterday, looking for vague or definitive answers about the width and widening point of Victorian bicycling trousers, I also came across this book from the 1970s. "I'm just gonna leave this until morning", I thought, thus leaving myself a surprise because I forgot about it.
Shall delve into it and see if there's valuable data for us all in there!
I bought, and read, a book that was over 100 years old. It cost me £3.
Honestly I'm amazed by this. We must never not make books.
I love my e reader. But blimey. Paper books lasting 100+years and just being fine. Wonderful.

I sort of inadvertently became a collector of old Modern Library hardcovers. I was in my local used book shop this weekend nearly bought one before realizing I already had a copy.
To prevent this from happening in the future, I considered making a spreadsheet of which titles I already have, but then I realized I could make a list or shelf here on BookWyrm. I'm not sure which approach is best. Probably a list(?).
Feedback / links to relevant documentation appreciated. #modernlibrary #books #oldbooks #bookwyrm #bookcollection
