A few years ago I picked up
The Visualized World History at my university's annual used book sale. It's a handbook-sized world history textbook published in 1946 with some spectacularly uncouth ethnic illustrations.
I've also got an early edition of Okakura's
The Book of Tea what was lent to me by a friend, though to preserve the crumbly binding I read the FeedBooks version (which was another delightful first).
