"I’m a lifelong book lover, and I’ve collected some treasured books over time. I had a goal to someday add a book from the 1600s to my collection. But they tend to be so expensive and often in really deteriorating conditions. I saw this on Etsy—a random title for $100 (on sale)—and I thought it was such a good price that I might as well try it, even if it turned out really worn. To my pleasant surprise, it’s delightful. It’s a small, French memoir about “illustrious men and great captains” that was popular in its era, published in 1699. For a 327 year old book, I’d say it’s in really impressive condition, and the price was a steal. I’m so happy to have it as a treasure in my collection. What a historical relic. They even included a bonus: a contract of some sort handwritten in the 1600s, gorgeous penmanship. Thank you!"
