I was just reminded of this children's book because of something I read on the forums and now I need to track down a copy. I don't even remember if it was good or not I just remember the cover. (I believe this is the original:)

I haven't read this one so I don't know if it's wonderful and it probably isn't weird, but I thought the title was pretty wonderful. Dicks - Biographies of great men elevated to statuehood

I bought an older (1910s I think) big-rear end history book once just for the really exquisite colour plates of art (colours are like 40000 times more vibrant than I've ever seen in a more recent book or, of course, via a display of any sort) but I kind of regret it because I'm never going to hang them up on the walls because the book is in decent nick. I look at them every few years and contemplate the 10€ I could've saved.

The big flea market down the road has some café tables near the door and there's always one or two professional or would-be professional buyers sitting there behind metre-high stacks of records, comics, and/or books, armed with a twelve-pack of Ronsonol and depression.

I haven't read this book, don't know if it's any good, have never even heard of it before, but I think we can all agree on the fact that "The Dead Cleans Their Trousers" is the best title for a crime novel ever:

Westlake's Bank Shot was published in Finnish with a much more apt title "Ottakaa pankki kiinni!" ("Catch that Bank!")  He's one of my favourite authors.

I thought the guy only knew Portuguese, but used a French phrasebook for Portuguese-speakers first, and then translated the French phrases with a French-English dictionary? At least that's how I remember from Readers' Digest back in the 80s.

I have the Complete Works of Robert Louis Stevenson in one volume and last year I found out it's missing like... two pieces he published It's got all the novels and poems and short stories, though... I THINK (Oddly enough I can't find a picture of the exact edition I have on-line but it's red and has very thin pages so there.)

  "Don't you loving try" said Anttila of his shadow. (I have no idea where this got blurry, looks fine in my phone gallery, sorry.)  I gave him the wounds and the ointments, said Alafree when he hit with a booze bottle. (Southern Ostrobothnia)  A drunkard makes careful use of the road. (Southern Karelia)  This lesson wouldn't be lost on others, said the bell-ringer when he was drunk and beaten by the wife.

There was a rather successful series of soft-cover books published by Werner Söderström from the 1930s to the 40s. It's name was literally "Ten-mark novels", so the price printed on the cover also served as a logo. But printing a thick novel costs more than printing a normal-length novel. The solution: (As far as I know this is the only double-double-ten-mark novel in the series.)
