    Brilliant!!! What jumped out at me about my c. 1948 one was how much more in-depth treatment there was for all kinds of (well, mainly Eurocentric) ancient and medieval history. Later editions saw steady erosion on that front.
    But yours takes the palm! Old encyclopedias have an equally serious and fun (if, Sorry, obvious) historiographic dimension.

    Nice portrait denarius, @Mat. Welcome to the club. The bad news is, the secret handshake is a knife in the back.

    Nice, I only joined the club recently myself. However i'm still 5 coins short of completing the 12 caesars set.

    Congrats, Mat! That's a great style portrait, very Caesar-y! I like it.

    Sadly I gave mine up a while ago, so am always on the hunt...
