Chambersburg, PA is really the place to go for interesting book finds. Here are two interlinear translations of Latin authors purchased for a total of $10.00. Both were published by David McKay Company based in Philadelphia.
The first contains Cicero's Four Orations Against Catiline, and was published in 1885. It remains in excellent condition, but unfortunately three leaves appear to have been torn out and placed back in the book unattached. The text block remains sound along with the binding, which is reinforced by headbands. The cover is a kind of flexible hardcover.
The second edition is of the complete works of Virgil, published in 1882. The binding is completely sound and all pages are intact.
