Howdy folks, I have no idea if this is the proper forum to post this, but I'm considering buying a book from 1905 that has transparent tape across a pair of pages, which I assume means closer tears. Though the paper used in those days is made of sterner stuff (thick rag paper), any of you have...

One would hope. Perhaps Van Halen could become current and relevant again if they had DD in front. Dave

Good link, Occlith. I remembered that series but not the author nor titles, so thank you. Dave

I have that book myself, and agree it's a good one. Little grim in spots though, so maybe a PG book. Dave

I gave Kull half a star because that was the least I could lol. Think my opening paragraph had Kull rhyming with dull. Dave

Back when I worked at newspapers for a living, I got suckered into reviewing movies and had to sit through that . . . thing. Battlefield Earth is right up there with Kevin Sorbo as Kull the Conqueror. Think I gave that stinker half a star. Dave
