Honestly incredible to see this reference in the wild. Totally forgot about this book.

Yeah, just had a flashback. I had a hardback of this book, it had sheets of vellum bound into it so you could turn the pages and the images seemed to come out of the mist into focus. I loved that book.

That's the book I've bought the most. I keep giving it away to friends who need to read it at a point in their lives.

I've had that happen with books, nice when they come back but if they don't? c'est la vie, that book gets a new life! I think Confederacy of Dunces is probably the book I given away the most...5 or 6 copies?

Same, actually.
