I too have old books. One of the earlier is "Stoddard's letter" which I have seen all over. The issue for me with these early books is that they contain mostly images of ruins and famous old palaces. I wish they had taken more images of people and actual happening because the look of the Roman ruins did not change much in the last 100 years

I always enjoy reading your posts but this last one is also a good source that I should thank you. Being a "collector" myself - specially about Rome. My latest acquisition "Roma in Castigo" by Fabrizio Sarazani, 1959. I hope you know it, not as good as "Roma non basta una vita" by Silvio Nero.
