Ran across this just a moment ago....

EDIT: Ignore the title, please... my wits were asleep when putting it in... should be "online" not "up for sale" ("Undertaker, another shot of formaldehyde for the old simp's head... it's been dead a long time")

That's really neat. Thanks for the link j. d. I'm definitely going to have to check that out.

I especially like that the stolen notebook is up, although I'm afraid that if it wasn't stolen "to order" (I understand that goes on from time to time) for a specific buyer, it has probably been dismantled and sold by the page. From what I understand, that is not unusual in the market for historical documents being sold illicitly.

It's wonderful! I went and read a few pages of his journal . . . so amazing to see his handwriting!
