I want that for each and every one of us :) The draft includes a sidebar
discussing the joys and respiratory dangers of pulp-era paper collectibles (and
warning against the kind of sharks that sell stuff for quadruple the fair price
at large-scale swap-meets and corporate flea-markets).

On respiratory dangers and things like them: One of my side-hobbies is buying
old crime pulps in really terrible condition (which makes them nice and cheap)
and then ripping the spines off with my bare hands [grrrowl!] in order to scan
the remains (nothing on the scale of the noble folks at websites like PulpGen,
but still something I like to dabble in - and personally I like to leave the
layout and advertisements intact).

And man o MAN. It's like all the moisture in the room gets sucked away. In
old-school fantasy gaming terms, I'd equate it to what it must feel like having
two experience levels instantly drawn out of you by some desiccated old walking
corpse :) And my eyes itch for hours and hours ... eww.
