No animated gifs, no frames, tables, fancy colors or snazzy graphics. But we do offer something different: content. If you are a techie, check out the Modern Practice of the Electric Telegraph, an accurate transcription of an 1870s era book on telegraphy (the original serial interface).
If you are a history buff, try the Life of William B. Ide, one account of how California came to be a part of the United States. Again, this book is more than 100 years old.
You will also find a 1904 home medical book, Medicology. This is a big-ass book with 1400 pages full of century old medical knowledge. Read about a world where communicable diseases like Cholera and Typhoid Fever raged, where diabetes was a death sentence, and where mercury was used for almost anything, even as a laxative.
We recently discovered a scrap-book collection of matchbook covers from the 1930's. Smoking is not as pervasive as it once was, and places that give away matches are not as common. But back then, matches were high-end advertising, and a lot of effort was put into attention grabbing graphic design. And, you might be surprised at some of the places that gave away matches. Check it out.
