Five volumes of “The Writings of Thomas Jefferson”. These were printed in 1861. That’s 158 years ago! I also picked up “How To Do Things”. A collection of helpful tips from the Farm Journal. This book was printed in 1919. I got the whole haul for an amazingly low price of $30. The Thomas Jefferson books were $5 a piece at the antique store and the lady gave me the one with the damaged spine for free. She didn’t know what she had and didn’t care what they were (quote “they may be worth a $1000 I don’t care) as she liked them purely for aesthetics and decoration. I didn’t mind taking them with me to a good home 

Edit: I didn’t realize what a piece of history the “ How T o D o T hings” is. It has a complete listing of all the households in Wayne county Ohio along with occupation and property maps of the townships. As if that wasn't cool enough it has advertisements from local businesses in that area.

Amazing find, I’d love to look through how to do things to see if I know any family names.

Those are excellent!

Also, “H ow to do T hings” is exactly how I’d title an instructional book if I wrote one.

Yes we do. I’m in Dayton and know there are at least three others are nearby. I know there’s some Columbus and Cincinnati folks here too.

How far I can travel all depends on whether I’m on call.
