The package came in unassuming and perforated paperboard about 2 inches
thick. I did remember from Wasteland's notes that each unit was about 100 pages
thick so I was surprised. I could not wait to open the package, all the while,
consumed with sepulchral trepidation for the ire of the jittery. It looked
like the paperboard my bank cheques used to come in, and a temporal delight
overcame me. Alas, there are four of them, slender yet comprehensive. I turned
one, page by page, to the penultimate chapter; Forty-one. On Page 97. Indeed
there are 101 pages. 101 dalmatians. The papers are amply thin of the finest
parchment. This will keep well in my library. The covers, front and back, are
laminated with protective coating of the brightest hue. It will keep well in
my moisture-laden library, confidently disposed to fend off the erstwhile
cobweb. I will dust my library often and it will be in good company.
I will read it over darjeeling tea. Before that, and prior to Galleh's
express written permission, I may not share any part of it electronically,
graphically, or mechanically. Save to share my original impressions. My uncle, my
associate, and my estranged friend will all be delighted when they receive
their copies soon, with a care package from theirs truly. The front page reminds
him of a sojourn of a sojourn in Casablanca. We had come upon a dilapidated
collection of calligraphy and compass on abstract nautical images. There was
no anchor but a life raft lay abandoned on the bow. He surveyed it with
endless peer and gaze. A broad smile augmented that gaze. The spine tells me it
belongs with the J's but I have more room at the M's. I relocated my daughter's
inline skates. Now I have room at the beginning of the J's. I have not read
it yet. I will read it over darjeeling. Meanwhile I will have my printer
enlarge and reproduce the front cover to be taken to the framer. There is a place
above the fireplace where I must scan as I exit the creaking of the beams and
trusses of the Farmhouse.
I thank Wasteland express for their efforts at sustainable publication.
