It is interesting to look at the era before the printing press. These hand written books are so incredible unique and valuable because they come from a this time period. I wonder what would have happened had books only been published through the printing press. We would have lost these pieces of work that are literally impossible to duplicate.
It almost goes along with the idea of what will books that are mass produced be worth in the future. If they had hand drawn artwork or the whole book was printed by hand then it would be much more valuable. You just don’t see things like that today and it would be kind of nice to see some newer books with maybe a hand drawn title page.
