I have two books, "Annuals" for boys and girls, from the late 19th Century. They were Christmas gifts from one great-great aunt to her sister. Great literature they ain't -- they're pretty mawkish and overly sentimental -- but they're family and a tie to my ancestors.
I also have a tiny (maybe 2.5 inches x 1.5 inch) book of the Psalms from about 1708. It's one of those used for traveling back then and was a present from my wife's late aunt.
And some "small press" things, including a Roycrofters "Hamlet."
