So long, Arthur.
All four of those scans are of books from my personal collection. The first, 2001 A Space Odyssey, was a hardcover library discard that I bought circa 1979/1980 at a neighborhood garage sale.
It cost twenty-five cents. Rarely has a quarter been invested so wisely.
Thanks for the stories, Sir Arthur.
