"Ah Mr. Gibbon, another damned, fat, square book. Always, scribble, scribble, scribble, eh?" (The Duke of Gloucester, on being presented with Volume 2 of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.)

Amazingly, I don't actually own a copy despite using that as my .sig for a while now (the previous .sig was deemed being too "politically incorrect" by some "sensitive eyes"). Deadtree for $45.00, and $55.00 for the next box. Hmmmm...Manybooks has Volume 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06. Oh, look! Samuel Pepys in one volume! And the complete plays of Gilbert & Sullivan! Bartlett's Familiar Quotations!

And people wonder how I've ended up with nearly 4,000 electronic texts on my Bookeen Cybook!
