Congrats. I am not at all bothered that you outbid me. It was mostly on a lark anyway.

I was hesitant, but by the time that I sniped I saw that you were outbid by that point - took the edge off. :)

Now I've got to hunt for the companion volume to this - the sister printing of the Odyssey. It'll be a big investment, but if I build the set of two then this could be a desirable piece of my collection. :thumb:

Yes indeedy it was I who dropped lunatic coin on a 500 year old set of bound paper.

Just to be clear though, I don't make enough money at my career to justify this. But hey... if that book equaled three credits, then maybe I'll learn to read Greek and Latin now for "200 dollars a credit hour".

Anyone have any thoughts on using microchamber paper for this? I know it's archival and actually supposed to help paper, but I'm afraid to do anything with this other than put it in some kind of shielded display.
