The Stranger's Child by Alan Hollinghurst. Not something I would normally read but seemed interesting. I will get to it when it reaches the top of my TBR pile.

These are our oldest books. Volumes 1 and 2 of the Manual of the Holy Catholic Church, published 1906. My grandpa found these in the attic of a house he bought. They are in pretty good shape for being 106 years old.

I think I got the pictures posted so they show up a good size and don't have to be clicked to be viewed at a larger size.
This book belonged to a friend of my great great uncle who passed it on to my uncle and then to my family. It's called Why Winners Win and it is a sports psychology book. It was published in 1927.

First printing of the The Silence of the Lambs. Based on the condition of this book, I think its an unread copy or whoever owned it before me took really good care of it.

This book is called Styx by Christopher Hyde. Its a good book. I wouldn't consider it a collectible but I like it. Most of the books I read are more recently published where people use iPhones and laptops frequently, where this book was published in 1982 and one of the characters is a journalist who carries a portable typewriter around with him. Kind of interesting to see how far we have come technologically since the 80s.
