re: Oldest book you own?

My parents have an "Audubon's Birds of North America" from its original run (not first edition, though) from the 1830s. Only book I ever wasn't allowed to turn the pages on when I wanted to see it. It was a gift to my 3x Great Aunt by a patron when she became the first female to receive a Doctorate in her Department at West Virginia University.

My Dad, who apparently liked to look at it was eventually given this version of it so he could flip through it at will. It's still in the original dust jacket. I'll take pics next time I go home. It's the reason I love looking for birds when I travel to this day.

ETA:

Damn. Ours is in waaaaaaay better shape than that one. Also - Just remembered there's a 50% chance that I have it in TX with me from the last time they evacuated. Will have to look tomorrrow/today.
