pattrose4. How old is the oldest book you own?
I have Ten of a large series by Dell Shannon. (this author is a woman) They are cop mysteries. I just love them. They are from the 60s so they are dated but still good reading. Wonderful case driven stories. I fell in love with the entire station house. Each book was like watching a great episode on tv. Then I have a set of ten by Ed McBain. It was another series that I loved. They were written in the 60s also. Gosh I was young when I got those books. The next set were from țhe 70s and 80s. His name is Lawrence Sanders. He's my favorite by far.
The First Deadly Sin. (1973)
The Second Deadly Sin (1977)
The Third Deadly Sin (1981)
The Fourth Deadly Sin (1985)
The Sixth Commandment (1978)
The Tenth Commandment (1980)
The Eighth Commandment (1986)
The Seventh Commandment (1980)
I own some cook books that are from the 50s and the 60s. I save books for a long, long time.
How about you? How old are your oldest books?
