I was so excited to find such a whimsical book, written in the old diction, with such elegant and heart felt art, that when I showed my friend I knocked over my bag and chipped a blue and white suveniour plate from Bangor Maine with waterfront illustrations.

It’s not the money.

It’s the principle of the thing, that I do this to preserve the few old things that have made it down through the years as they were, when things were made with care.

It’s just a shame.
