English periodicals of literary significance (Johnson, Defoe).&nbsp; And only over the last couple of weeks, I bought this, a Paris edition of the memoirs of Joinville.&nbsp; I was thinking it belonged in the thread, &#039;Besides coins, do you have other hobbies?&#039;&nbsp; But this is too good an &#039;in&#039; to pass up.&nbsp; Yes, it has exactly zero numismatic significance per se, but is of profound moment to a key phase of the historical range of my own coin collecting.&nbsp; It&#039;s a sweet little full duodecimo, very much along the lines of [USER=89687]@ominus1[/USER]&#039;s terrific example.&nbsp; Here are some of the the dealer&#039;s pics.&nbsp; --And I promise, every page doesn&#039;t have a library stamp!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1462566[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1462571[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1462573[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
