I don't miss it, every time I eat a meal I get to stare at it.

The old stuff was very cool to say the least.

So, one weekend when I came back home from college, I scanned in all the images from the House books; they're on a floopy, somewhere.

Here-here!

I loved the only B&W books, even. The ones with maybe some colour-panels in the middle like an Osprey book! It gave the old art a kind of charm that fired the imagination in a way that full-colour glossies just don't for me. But that binding...Hm...needed to improve that binding.
