When you think about it, if he'd been born in a later period, he would have invented the paperback. :-)Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-45489780025953591712015-01-10T10:46:37.259+00:002015-01-10T10:46:37.259+00:00I had no idea!
