The oldest book in the World art and symbols of Golden Etruscan Orphic Book from Bulgaria

by Nataša Pantović

An ancient book comprising of six pages of 24  karat gold (measuring 5 x 4.5 centimetres) bound together by gold rings was donated to the Museum by an anonymous 87 year old Bulgarian man from Macedonia who had discovered the treasure in a tomb unearthed 60 years in southwestern Bulgaria. According to Elka Penkova, Head of the museum's archaeology department, the golden book is the oldest complete book in the world, dating to 600 BC.

The Golden Book is dedicated to the Ancient Greek God of Music Orpheus 

A few years ago, I saw an author complaining that a particular Amazon reviewer must have pirated her book, because the version they'd reviewed hadn't been available for download for a while. No names, because 1) I don't remember who it was and 2) she calmed down when her friends reminded her that not everybody reads books as soon as they buy or download them.

 

For some reason, that incident has been on my mind lately, so I thought I'd ask: What's the oldest unread book in your collection? Are you the kind of person who buys books and then hoards them for months or even years, or do you read books as soon as you get them?

 

I'm almost entirely the former, although that doesn't stop me from buying new releases. As far as my e-book collection goes, I have unread books going back to 2011, when I bought my first e-reader. My print collection is even worse. I don't have exact dates for anything, but, for example, I have a copy of Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers by Jane Jensen that I bought back when I was really into the Gabriel Knight games. The most recent of those games came out back in 1999, so I've probably owned that book for at least 15 years. Nostalgia has thus far prevented me from offloading it, and I really do intend to read it. Someday.

Enjoyed this read. First book by Nancy for me and it was cute little mystery.Loved the characters and the funny little vampire girl trying to be as human as possible loved her sense of humor. Cesa is being treated as a murder suspect being guarded by a cop named Saber who used to be a vampire hunter. The two have a slow budding romance with a lot of sexual tention but the two can't seem to fight the attraction. A who would want to with a sexy hunk like Saber and Cesa being a virgin vampire to boot. The two go and a hunt to solve several murders and clear her name with the two working together and the only cop (Saber) who is on her side and believes in her innocence the two will prevail and solve this mystery together and prove the rest of them wrong the clues are building by the minute and soon all will be revealed. Looking forward to the next book it is looking like these characters are going to be turning into sequel books !
