It's so much fun to look up science and technology items, articles on the national economies of the day, facts on cities of the time, and so much more. The volumes smell of woodsmoke and have been endlessly entertaining. They were bought for a quarter each at an AAUW sale; the chapter was cleanng out its library. For another quarter, we bought a huge anthology of the poetry of the 1860s. If we'd been able to spend just a little more, there were atlases for fifty cents apiece. You did a very good thing to buy what you did. My favorite book purchase ever was ten volumes of Chambers’s Encyclopaedia, published one by one from 1860 to 1868 (check out Wikipedia on this).
