Congrats,Al.

I have a very funny question to ask:

Old books often have amazing smells...

So how does it smell?

In complete envy of your acquisition

Absolutely love the book. It is a work of art. 

 

Have you ever used Archive.org of Google books to look for old books. If the copywrite is expired often you can find books for free on there. I like hard copies ideally, but I resort to digital media when necessary. 

Look at the links. I think you may find helpful titles there.

@piranha  wow....so many trilobites wow. 

 

Above when you said “rapidly declining stock” do you mean some of the exposures where these large ornate trilobites came from are no longer available?

Thanks!! I have not seen into those yet or I have and didn’t realize I had more access than I thought. Some of the sources I link to won’t download. This should help
