Our family is talking about what to get each other for the holidays. I'm asking for some favorite books in hardback (I already have a lovely Hobbit but I don't have a copy of Lord of the Rings, that sort of thing). Anyway, I was looking for Jane Austen and I found Alcott's Little Women, which I've never read, that was republished with this cover that very much looks like she wrote a horror novel.
"Are you a little woman? No? Come here, WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT." <screams>
So I'm merrily working through bundles of archive records that require resizing to strengthen the paper structure and straight forward paper repairs when I get to this little challenge.
