I have a bunch of old dictionaries, including a set of Oxford English Dictionaries. They are the ones that were microprinted into two fat volumes. I found them in a bin at a thrift store for $1 each. A real bargain.
Old almanacs are good to save as well. They are changed every single year. My most interesting one was published back when Andrew Jackson was president. It was discarded from a government office years ago.
Wise dad. I own a facsimile copy of Webster's 1828 (the first dictionary published in the United States of America) for this very reason. Zero forkery possible...
My dad told me when I was a kid to never get rid of old dictionaries because the meanings will change.
Smart man.
This. I have two of Websters finest.
