We got to look at some spectacular books.  I guess the
one that made the biggest impression on me was called
"The Starry Messenger" by Gallileo and had his
signature attached to a dedication to one of his
friends.  For those who are not familiar with the
book, Gallileo outlines his discovery of the 4 moons
of Jupiter in this book.  I got to hold this book in
my hand.  It is a piece of history I got to hold for
just a moment.  I was awestruck.  It definitely was a
life changing experience.
