Actually I inherited a full set of 8 books written in Gothic letters from my grand-grand pa, who bought it in 1897

Can you read Gothic letters ?

That would be Great Grand Pa, wouldn't it?

Gothic letters, do you have to wear black, lots of eyeliner and have candles everywhere to read it?

BTW: I also got a 8 volume science lexica printed with modern letters - but a strange spelling - from almost the same period (Great grandpa, again - thanks, Box).
A very simple astronomy with no galaxies, no electronics, radios, atom physics, planes - and it's just a little more than 100 years old - can you imagine that ?

That's actually what I'm talking about (lexica = dictionary)
I'm really astonished about what has happened within a century !

Can you imagine the next major progress ?

I performed with them a few years back in London, does that make me a reduced Sheik or a reduced Spear?
