Much like Tincow, one of my life goals is to amass a large historical library. As of now my collection is limited to mainly modern bindings of older texts but I intend to try to attain older editions as I become (hopefully) more financially stable. My favourite text I have is a '91 binding of Sir Charles Oman's A History of the Art of War in the Middle Ages in two volumes. Most of my other titles are even newer than that. But i do have an unabridged set of Edward Gibbon's The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Hopefully, my library will only continue to grow
