Business as usual.

I found this in box of paperback books yesterday. Also some cool “Perry Mason” and other paperbacks with those cool covers. I’ll post some more photos soon.

And she was “Exotic Dancer R.N.”, I gather?

OMFG I would swim in that box of books like Scrooge McDuck in his silo of gold pieces

This is exactly the reason why they don’t let me in bookstores anymore.

I can see how the issue is a global one, but I’m confused as to why this lawyer seems to think the world would be reliant on the US First Amendment, except, of course, in cases like his example where the US is involved.

Animation warning for the link. Quotes move when I scroll.

Bizarre case.

Thakkar’s attorney compared the prosecution of his client to a cell phone salesperson on trial for selling a phone later used in a drug crime.

She had a great bedside manner.

I love the old Matt Helm movies with Dean Martin, were they adaptations of the novels or is that a novelization of a movie, I wonder?

The books came first.

MORE than interesting, it’s great! But I didn’t see any mention of side effects.

Facebook Marketplace told me that, after I posted them for sale there, they went against their standards. HAHAHAHA!

kxkvi · May 4, 2019, 8:18pm

What?

ETA: Sorry, I should have added “the fuck are they thinking?”

Who the fuck really knows, LOL?

I think it’s the blot of red sealing wax depicted on one cover. I had a similar issue with a sewing book from the 1940s; the cover had a scissor cut, meant to depict cut fabric - but the main color was black, and the color in the cut was red, so it looked bloody.

But . . . it’s a book!

I know, I’m naive.
