Does anyone have any old bibles, webster dictionaries or history books they would be willing to part with?

I am in search of any old Bibles, old Webster Dictionaries and old history books. I need these for my studies. Due to modern day publishers changing the original wording, adding to or deleting certain texts, the old books are the only reliable sources still remaining. If anyone can give me these they would be greatly appreciated, due to hard economic times I am not in much of a position to purchase anything. Thank you in advance.Does anyone have any old bibles, webster dictionaries or history books they would be willing to part with?
I'm disinclined to believe you as well.

If you needed history books for your studies you would have specified what kind. Ancient? American? European? Medieval?

As for dictionaries and Bibles - you didn't specify how old you want them to be. Ebay is a wonderful place to get very cheap old books.

I would venture to say that old dictionaries are highly unreliable. If you are looking for reliability modern is a better bet when it comes to language - language is always changing, so a definition from 200 years ago will be highly inaccurate in many cases.Does anyone have any old bibles, webster dictionaries or history books they would be willing to part with?
nonsense.



I doubt your claims and assume you are merely scamming people in a forum which is for questions, not pleas for charity. Old bibles and quality old dictionaries are worth money, so either use the library or pay for them.





Not only are most versions of bibles still easily available in libraries, many are still in print since unlike new versions, they require no payment of copyright fees. in addition, many sects have latched on to specific versions as being the one and only version and continue to fund their publication.



Dictionaries are also widely available, they're also valuable. Once again if you have valid research, you could easily consult many different versions in any library. Rarer ones are available in most college libraries.



History books, well yes they change, then again so does our knowledge of history. I'd check the library since many don't update their history sections. Older books of course are valuable and once again I question your pleas.Does anyone have any old bibles, webster dictionaries or history books they would be willing to part with?
I do, but not willing to give it away. It was my grandfathers bible. It's the old King James version. It is the closest to the old version of the bible you can get.
