I started a similar thread in the history forum a while back that didn't gain much interest, but why not start another one here? Might inspire some members to get into the hobby..
I've been collecting antique publications for a number of years now. Not very seriously, just buying stuff I'm interested in reading when I find it. I've got books, magazines, newspapers, you name it..
Here are a few samples from my collection:
One of the first books I bought when simply 'looking for something old'..
Philosophy in Sport Made Science in Earnest; Being an attempt to illustrate the first principles of natural philosophy by the aid of popular toys and sports
Published in 1827
Time Magazine
Published in 1938
One of my personal favourites of the collection:
The Canadian Magazine
Published in 1899. Lots of cool material inside this guy
The Hockey News
Published in 1950. Found in an antique market that was loaded with sports publications
Pioneer Days in London
Published in 1921. A history of my city, but with historical value itself.
There's a bunch more that I may post later..
Anyone else do similar?
