Antiquarian science book → Antiquarian science books — This concerns the genre of books, rather than a single book. Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 11:27, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

• Support - "Antiquarian science book" as a title for an article has always sounded a little odd to me. --Saddhiyama (talk) 12:42, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

This shall not be an article!!!

Articles on "antiquarian books" are meaningless for encyclopedic purposes, they shall be avoided!!!Undead Herle King (talk) 05:29, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

um, why? have you heard about the "Pokemon test"? Bibliophilia is as least as notable a hobby I should say. --dab (𒁳) 15:50, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

I do not agree, this list is related to the major milestones in science, which is of course valuable for encyclopedic purposes Mario C (talk) 11:18, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Prices

Quoting prices for specific known sales or auctions of the works listed here would be interesting, but come on, no references? How is this even making sense? You need to state when and where exactly the cited price was paid, otherwise this is just random uncited white noise. --dab (𒁳) 15:51, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

   Yes, I agree more are needed, but after reviewing the list of books I consider it pretty interesting so I have added more references. Mario C (talk) 11:15, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

as I suspected, these are just random figures somebody pulled out of their nose. They gave "$110,000" for Copernicus' 1543 (not 1542 as incorrectly stated) De revolutionibus . If you bought this book at this price, you should have it closely examined, because you underpaid it by a factor of 20. Either you spent 110k on a cheap fake, or you just made a 2 millions' profit. Either way, these numbers need to be sourced, or they need to go. --dab (𒁳) 16:09, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Turns out this misinformation is due to User:BookWormHR, a self-described member of the top thousandth in terms of intelligence. It annoys me to no end when people on Wikipedia throw around claims on degrees or, even better, intelligence, and then do stupid shit like this. Better to let your actions speak for your intelligence, or competence, I say. --dab (𒁳) 16:13, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
