Daybreakers took a look at some books Tuesday morning.
Rare first editions and first printings suitable for collecting are the specialty of Old Editions, an antiquarian bookstore in downtown Buffalo.
The store also has valuable maps, magazines, comic books, and original art for sale.
Ron Cozzi, store owner, will buy appraise and purchase older books in excellent condition.
Cozzi travels extensively to sell and buy books.
The store's website is popular amongst bibliophiles internationally.

I found this on the news website..wgrz.com...and watched the vid they had on it (unfortunately I couldnt retrieve it to show) But some of these old edition books have what look to be just gold edged pages, well it was shown that if the pages were spread out or if u were to hold the binding of the book and hold the cover with one hand and the back with the other and kinda like feather the pages you can see an actual image that was painted right on the gold edges. It was the neatest thing I have seen. Needless to say I will be spending some time looking for these gold edged pages to see if there is a painting.
