Antiquarian
It's always books that are described as 'antiquarian' rather than antique, but this one certainly is. It's a concordance (that is, a reference to words used in the Bible) dating back to 1850. It has an inscription from 1855 to Agnes Richards from her 'affectionate husband' - what a romantic present! It was my father's but, as Agnes was not an ancestor, and the King James (Authorised version) is not my choice of translation, it's time for it to go but to be photographed for posterity.
(I didn't go out today - can you tell?!)
