random 659 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 We find old newspapers from 60's/70's quite a bit but there crumpled up and brittle so you can't do much but look at them then throw them,old books come along a bit as well but we just look and leave as they are someone's property,got a poetry book from the 30's and a few the field magazines from the 60's somewhere... The poetry book, A poem from it, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
