1500? Are you serious? I think I just came. I love old books. I have a couple from the early 1800's, and I thought those were old! Do you own these, or what? If so, WHERE DID YOU GET THEM?

It's a lovely photograph itself, (particularly the way the camera's focused) but what's that black line right in the middle?
