So my brother-in-law wants to know what it is that I'm bidding on at EBay, per this post.
Specifically, for those who care, I was/am bidding on the following books:
- Geography: Or, A Description Of The World - Daniel Adams, published by Lincoln & Edmands, 1828 (I've won this one)
- A Shakespearian Grammer - E. A. Abbot, published by MacMillan and Co., 1883 (I lost this one)
- Hammond's Handy Atlas of the World - Published by C. S. Hammond & Company, 1921 (This auction is still going)
- Hammond's New Supreme Atlas of the World - Published by CS Hammond & Company, 1939 (This auction is also still going)
Other interesting purchases that I've made recently (and for which I may yet add pictures should I feel so inclined) inculde:
- A History of the English Speaking Peoples - Sir Winson S. Churchill, Dorset Press, 1990
- Japan Since Perry - Chitoshi Yanaga, McGraw-Hill, 1949
- Latin Pronuciation and the Latin Alphabet - Dr. Leonard Tafel and Professor Rudolph Tafel, published by I. Kohler, 1860
- The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire - Edward Gibbon, (Commentary by H. H. Milman, 1845) published by Porter & Coates, late 19th century
- The Works of Edgar Allen Poe - Edgard Allen Poe, publisher unknown (I haven't gotten the books yet), 1903
I'm sure that I'll add more details as time goes on.
