"Very Old Japanese Magazines / 昔の日本雑誌"

I was recently shown some very old (wood-block printed) Japanese magazines that I was told are from the Edo Era.  I'm not an expert in old publications like this, but they were very interesting to have a first-hand look at!  Notice that two of the hand-sewn-binding magazines put together form one picture (magazine 1/2 and 2/2).
