Any recomendation on old science textbooks? I feel comfy reading old textbooks because prefer the old writing style of people back then, a bit purple prose, but much better than today's dry writing.

If the books are less outdated with current science, the better, but I wont be rejecting anything. Just feel free to post.

Read anything by Dover books. Everything they print is pre 70's just about.

Go with Dover and MIR Publishers. The soviet books are pretty good.

recommend soviet textbooks, they're really simple and good if you want a very general understanding of different subjects

I'm not sure what my book was called, but it was a "Modern Science" book from like 1938. It had eugenics as the last chapter, and references Luther Burbank and how a family comparing the first and second marriages resulted in a "feeble minded" lineage in one case, and a normal-minded (I think that was the way they put it) in the other. I found it in a bowling alley/hotel which was being renovated. They had a lot of cool books in the attic, I wish I could've kept them.

Depends on what you want to learn about. As said previously, Dover tends to publish a lot of them at very cheap prices.

Here's an image. I don't think it was from the book with eugenics, but was still an old book. Right inside the cover.
