'New' Oldest book in my collection on Fish.

[Oddball]

My wife just presented me with an early birthday present:

Oppian's Halieuticks~Nature of Fishes, 1722

Oppian was born in 183AD and died of the plague around the age of 30. I'm looking forward to a nice jaunt through history reading this work.

Does it have that "old book" smell?


Being serious now, that is amazing! Both your book, and your wife for acquiring you said book.
