Books! BIG Books

[gothwalk]

Due to the great generosity of radegund, we are now in possession of a nearly complete 10th Edition Encyclopedia Britannica. Expect many random quotes and much inattentiveness otherwise, as I struggle with questions of why everyone in the Navy hates Mr Childers so much, and just where Rumelia is or was. All the volumes are currently sitting on the kitchen table, pending me finding a more suitable home for them somewhere in the house. Visits may be arranged.

Heh, for some reason I now have 'A Good Home Is Hard to Find (Not!)' earworming its way around my head. Would the kind sir be able to check and see what the big books say on the subjects of technology and electricity, please?

I'll check for you just as soon as I can reach arbitrary books - at the moment, they're stacked out of order in the kitchen, waiting for me to clear shelf space for them elsewhere. And indeed, partially reconstruct the shelves to allow for the size of them. When they say "they don't make books like this anymore", they're not kidding. These things are theft-proofed by sheer size and weight.

Heh, that sounds excellent. Proper books! And there's no hurry on it, to be honest - it's not like I'm going to be finished this thesis any time soon!
(and I couldn't resist this icon, sorry!)

Rumelia?

Yes, indeed! Some day, when I get myself properly in gear for it, I'm going to make a website about the lost countries of Europe. Places like Rumelia, Burgundy, and so on.

All I know about Burgundy, I know from reading Ash: A Secret History :>
