  • Nope, and if I did I would sell it in a heartbeat for a lot of money.  Then just go buy the paperback.   I never quite got the allure of having an old book or book collecting.

  • No.
    To see them that old, I must visit museums and where white gloves.
    I do love the look and smell of them - and the craftsmanship in the printing and binding.
    Or even better, the ancient illuminated manuscripts... works of art.
