Oldest Book you own!

I've got a collection of Easyriders from edition no.2 (1971) to about 35 and a load of original furry Freak Brother comics (and Wonder Warthog with Paranoid Punkpig.) Loads of punk fanzines (including Sniffin' Glue and 1st edition of The Face) from late 70's to early 80's. Does that count?

(I do actually have a 1st edition of The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea by Yukio Mishima, a very popular classic!)

I have some Boys Holiday annuals from the 1920s. Lots of Frank Richards stories and fascinating articles about how a motorcycle works and the leading sportsmen of the time...Wally Hammond and Jack Hobbs. Over 200 pages per annual stuffed full of good stuff - now they don't produce anything like that anymore!

Well my novel collection is now over the 1000 mark, the oldest would be either some of the Biggles or the Otwell Binns (a great great granddaddy) I can not check the ages as they are now packed.
I have a few collectors editions of books ranging from Harry Potter to a steel bound Judge Dredd.

I also have a collection of MTG cards dating back to the Dark series

2000AD's from prog 100ish to date

And some of the original 40K space marines somewhere

Other collections would be board games / Mini games / card games

Me a Kelpotmaniac? hell yeah

No worries, I'll wrap it in my Action Comics No 1 for safe keeping.

Lots of books, not many old ones.

My mum has a set of Enid Blyton 'Adventure of ...' stories signed (1st or 2nd editions).

I have a lot of old RPG stuff, like Traveller, etc.

I own a copy of the Bible. That's quite old, 2000 yrs at least I think.

[The Wikir Man]

I have a bible at home that was printed in 1750 or thereabouts, I think.

Don't get me wrong I read the books I have. I also have a collection of Dickens. But there's something real about 'old' books.

We have a set of Dickens that my great-grandfather had bound specially. There's also a two-part volume of "The Life and Times of Queen Victoria" which was published before she died.
