Abstract
I began my collection of old accounting books in 1978 when my wife took me into a small antique store in New Hope, Pennsylvania. While she was looking at furniture I browsed through some old books and came across a copy of A Practical System of Bookkeeping by Ira Mayhew, published in 1855. I was intrigued by this small volume and purchased it. This led to my starting a collection of accounting and bookkeeping books published prior to 1900.
