Liked what I'm guessing's the Introduction, then.
The oldest book after the Johnson duo's the Insel (Island) copy on the left, which is a two-part Faust (1890's), given to me by a German prof in college. The oldest Everymans are on the left as well, the shiny Borrow (The Bible in Spain- Borrow's adventures smuggling Spanish language Bibles into Spain mid-19th c when Catholic law made it illegal for the population at large to possess them) is the oldest (1910), the three vol Ruskin is The Stones of Venice (great book) and was printed in 1925. The ones on the right are from the 40's and 50's.
