One Day
I have now finished the Matt Reilly series. In one instance I took out a book and returned it the next day. Now I am reading the Dragonlance books. This is a great change from the modern world that Reilly's books take place in. But since the last book I read was The 6 Sacred Stones it still deals with something that is ancient and out of the ordinary. Dragons of the Fallen Sun by Weis and Hickman in the Dragonlance series also talks about the past civilizations that were greater and ,hopefully as they go on, surpassing the past.

Books
The Diamond Sutra is the oldest complete printed book with a known date. But the most known in the west is the Gutenberg Bible which is old but not as old as the Diamond Sutra. But, this book was sold for 5.4 million. The price is a record for a book at an auction and more than doubles the price of 2.2 million for a copy of the book in 1978.
