Been opening too many really old books, my eyes are itchy now

I have a couple books so old they call it the SBN instead of the IBSN

I have one book that's so old it doesn't HAVE an ISBN

It's a collection of essays about like folklore and stuff I think, I don't really know tbh

I'm not sure when this copy was published because it's in pretty good shape but the only info I can find on the book in general gives 1912 as the original publication date

It's in better shape than my fucked up copy of Amityville Horror tho
