    Brass studded boards, some loss at start and finish, tear to map of Caanan, relatively late as the King James version had been published 3 years earlier. Far from a fine example and only found because I took a third look, seems you can't take too many looks.

    Very cool find. I'm pretty sure that is the oldest book I have ever seen.

    Very interesting find, AF!

    Excellent advice - "you can't take too many looks." :)
