As a medieval historian you rarely handle the original documents, so now when I'm studying later periods I really like reading 17th century resolutions in a collection printed in 1766. And it's cool that they just stand there in our library for everyone to use. Paper definitely was of a much higher quality then.

I am, however, not impressed by the person who's underlined sentences with a pencil.
