Some books I've found at some job sites that would be in a landfill if I hadn't found them. More info in comments.

Asbestos abatement and we get sent into the craziest places. Many are getting demolished and we are the final crew to go in and remove the asbestos so they can destroy the building with an excavator and send it out in dump trucks to a landfill.

I have been considering it, or at least something online since I'm out in the middle of nowhere. I've found the craziest stuff ranging from 1800s valvoline cans, 1950s coke machines, the books you've seen, an old school Aleister Crowley Thoth deck, rare minerals (I have blue tourmaline and others), old coins, empty medicine bottles that once had mostly alcohol or drugs, you name it and then some. The craziest things are abandoned and about to be trashed and I live in an old state.

I'll fight pea for that deck.
Also old bottles and cans.

Hopefully these qualify as rare. If not I'll delete it.
Graham's Magazine Vol. 22 - 1843
Young People's Bible History - 1873
The New Testament Revised - 1881
A Christian Hymns book, I believe it's in Lithuanian and came here with a Polish family, printed in Russia - 1906
These are some cool books I've found at sites that are to be demolished and the waste hauled off to a landfill, so I try to save what I can.
Thank you for your service! :)
No problemo! I'm going back for more tomorrow, on a good site with more to go through.
