Books 50-ish or more years old that, while not perfect, still hold up today?

While they weren't as interested in coming off unbiased, old historians > new historians when it comes to actually writing well. At least imo.

Original owners notes, btw. I thought college notes older than me were pretty interesting. It's cool to see what areas he was focused on studying, what information he found interesting, in his own handwriting.

You got anything older OP?
>>
>>2657397

I didn't mean books in my possession, but rather older books that are still relevant and have not succumbed to the historian's love of gerontophagy.

That said, I agree, original owner's notes are pretty cool. Maybe you'll find out who the half-blood prince is. Oldest book I own is an 186x copy of Walton's *The Compleat Angler,* but while a fun read, it's not too useful anymore.

>>2657383

Yep. No doubt about it. I'd kill to be able to write like that.

I always wanted a copy of the compleat angler after seeing it in that shitty Netflix nympho movie.
