an antique i'm actually excited about
Wheee!!!! =D I AM GEEKXITED! My parents went to Victoria for a weekend together and came back with some souvenirs for us. Mine?
A book of Oscar Wilde's poetry from way fucking back. I mean, I don't know exactly what year, which will forever bother me - there's no publication date, nothing written inside - but the pages are yellowed, the binding is real leather with gold stamped writing, and everything about it would lead me to believe it was published around 1900. My parents found it in a used bookstore, apparently. It has an old-fashioned sketch of Wilde on the inside cover.
This is so exciting guys, you don't even realize. ♥
