Yes I do know what you mean about lemmy/reddit its just I can not get into reddit any more, the tone of the discussions here are just so much better, it is such a shame certain subs are less militant than others , the two I often used on reddit, book collecting and fl studio, basically seem as busy as usual , which is frustrating. However at the end of the day I am here now 90% of my social media time and very glad to have found a worthwhile alternative to work on.

BTW this is monumental Latin dictionary of legal terms and jurisprudence edited and completed by Pieter Cornelisz Van Brederode 1596 this certainly has some value nice find.

Can I just quickly mention that I for one really appreciate the work done by @ruul to keep this instance working as well as it does , thank you.

[–] phil299 2 points 2 years ago

lol Honestly I am so so glad to have found this alternative , I know it is quieter but it is also so more civil and human

Well that is the normal rule for modern first editions but Tolkien is so so sort after that prices for early edition of The Hobbit are very high even without the dust wrapper

Sort of need the title page to be certain but they appear to be 1804 edition of "digest or the pandectes or the emperor Justinine" Complete in 50 books although could be bound in various combinations of volumes. TBH not sure how desirable they are, I only really deal in English , Latin and Greek texts so a little out of my orbit. BTW Pandectes means ,or at least can mean, law of everything , and these books are basically Roman law from the mid 500AD. It seems to me that because they are dis-bound the cost of binding would be more than the value of the set if complete but as I said not exactly my area of expertise

Adam Buxton https://www.adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts Quite possibly can rebuild your faith in human nature.

1st edition 1946 Lovely example of one of the easier to find (in the uk at least) Ray Cumming titles. Most of his books were published in the USA and are pre war.

Thanks been wondering what the hell was going on , this definitely works on lemmy but not on kbin as far as I can tell

Seems that if we delay deleting content to after July 1st it might be nigh on impossible. As traffic from goggle to old posts will still benefit reddit should we delete or not?

EDIT just spotted this

On the right hand side top under the community name there is the edit community and next to that , dangerously close, is a delete option. That could easily clicked in a panic, does anyone know if there is at least an "are you sure", would hate to delete a whole community by accident.

Just a quick few words (self.bookcollecting)
submitted 2 years ago by phil299 to c/bookcollecting
 

I created this community because I enjoyed the sub of the same name at the place that shall not be named. If any mods from the other place want in on this just message me and I am happy to hand it off to you. Regards Phil

 

Pretty much my day job so thought I would open a community for it.
