I'm 68 and have been married for 50 years. When I was 8, a friend of my Father gave us many books from his Father's library. I have taken them with me in every move. They are much like yours and give me joy whenever I bring one out. It is encouraging to see your love of old books. Young people now days don't seem to understand how amazing it is to hold a book in your hands, asking where it came from. My books are like friends from the past. Thank you for sharing, I would also like to see more from your collection.

This reminds me of a collection my late father had, of Maltese novels, written in Maltese language that was so old it was written differently and was half Italian. Sadly it had become infested with tiny bugs after his passing and, not realising its value, we had thrown them away !

Oh no! That would have been so interesting to see!

Hello Melissa. I greatly appreciate you and your channel. I find each video to be beautiful, relaxing, inspiring, and never a waste of my precious time! I also collect antique books. Most are leather bound circa late 1700s and early 1800s.What appeals to me is the content of the old hymnals. They don’t have musical score, just the words like some of yours. What first attracted me to your channel was its name. I love old hymns! Yes, I would enjoy seeing more of your book collection. What I would greatly enjoy hearing is hymns played by you on the organ. Do you think you could arrange that?? Maybe a special Christmas video with you playing the sweet music of Christmas??

Thank you so much for the encouragement, Lori! And thank you for being here. :-) Books are one of those things you can collect all throughout life - it's a journey for sure!

Melissa, your original publication of Mary Jemison's story piqued my interest because we have only read the children's version by Lois Lenski titled Indian Captive. I would love to be able to read her original.

I think the original was published even as late as 1967, so there could still be copies floating out there if you're interested in reading it! :-)

Lots of german books, so interesting. Are you able to indentify the old letters (Sütterlin)? My grandparents learnt to write like that, almost a form of art

I studied German for 3 years in high school and I've started to try to read the old letters but it is still definitely a challenge for me! :-)
