The oldest book I own is a little more than a curiosity, it's a Latin tome by Ovid, printed in 1662. To my chagrin, I don't understand Latin (though I intend to learn it at some point)
The oldest readable book in my small collection is a beautiful and interesting English book concerning the antiquities of the Roman empire, from 1708. Also very interesting is a schoolbook from 1811, natural history for the young reader, illustrated with pictures of various animals most of which the artist has obviously never seen in his life. lol
I'll try to get some pictures soon.
