That title is OUTSTANDING! Take it to the local park and read it ostentatiously in front of parents near a playground. And whistle. Ha!

The people are hungry. The people are cold.
The rich have robbed us of our land.
The rich have robbed us of our liberty.
The people cry out.

Hah! I just happened to read this passage in TEMPORARY KINGS, book eleven of Anthony Powell’s A DANCE TO THE MUSIC OF TIME:

“He picked up from the table [in Venice] the paper he had brought with him, opened it, folding back a page. It was _Detective_, _Ici Paris_, or another of those French periodicals that explore at greater length cases, usually already reported, which through expansion promise more pungent details of crime or scandal.”

This is a great blog with some incredibly cool information. In an age when so many things are produced by the millions and then thrown away, caring for something rare and easily destroyed that has survived from an earlier time must be quite daunting! Thank you for sharing these acquisitions!
