    While enthusiasm for old literature and the contents of old books is great, all posts must be of actual physical copies of the book (whether you possess it or not). This means no links to contents of books, whether for download, text excerpts, or videos (unless video is of physical old book, not just slideshow of contents). 1 warning, ban on second offence.

Description

Although the kindle is handy, nothing quite like thumbing through a good book. And with old books, nothing quite like delicately moving the pages while holding your breath.
