Hi premium Caz,

maybe I am a little thick here ..but I don't follow you,
maybe you are the one 'drugged up to the eyeballs',
your post does look weird to me ..

I have just re-read my post and it makes sense to me ..
I cannot see anything there that looks like I am inferring
anything like that.

Maybe I just don't have much of a sense of humour today?
And what book are you reading .. my page 69 is obviously different to yours?

I might look for some 'gems' myself to share with you,
along with my opinion, for what it's worth ...

love,

Vic

Amazing he could remember anything at all, Vic. You make it sound like they were drugged up to the eyeballs.

Premium Caz,
very nice of you to ask my opinion about page 2 ..
I am not an expert book reviewer like you!

But here is the simple way that I saw it ..

Steve is just writing it as he remembers the incident.

Steven had obviously read things about Anne Frank and her
diary, also the allegations that came about in I think the late 50's
that it was written by a man .. and possibly that she did not even exist.
I think that even now some people think it was not her.
But in all this remember .. that they were just young men, not experts
in history and the world.
He is just relaying the conversation had by them at that time.

It arrived then!

It did! I'm about halfway through now. Loving the ee cummings approach to grammar, syntax and punctuation.

"Anne." was her flat response.

Hi 'premium' Caz ..have you not got your own copy?

Perhaps you could ask yourself why the hell I would put a penny piece in Powell's pocket when the pennies that earned me 'premium' Caz (an unexpected bonus) buy me enough gems to last me all year.

Love,

PS What did you make of the Anne Frank gem? Assuming you've got to page 2.

[Rob Clack]

I'm waiting for the sequel myself.

mine has too ...

Hi 'premium' Caz ..have you not got your own copy?
Then you would be able to find your 'own gems' without relying on others.

I've no axe to grind in any of this, but I thought I would share one quote from this publication which particularly struck me:

"Never again would I underestimate an audience's intelligence." (p.61)

But this was in 1974...

Mark

It arrived then!

[caz]

Oh that's just too delicious, Mark.

If you find any more gems like that one, I hope you will share them with this dumb audience.

Almost takes the mind off the unfortunate Anne Frank episode on page 2.

Fame or Infamy

I believe it should be the full word of 'Diary'.
This is how it appears on the fascimile of the cover.

Future books will be corrected,
meanwhile 'rarities' could attract a premium in the future ...

[The Grave Maurice]

Best part is the cover says "The True Story Behind the Jack the Ripper Dia"

That's odd. Mine came today and it says "...Behind the Jack the Ripper Diar" which, were the word to be completed in a specific way, might be more appropriate. Anyway, no time to check out the contents at the moment because I've got a couple of other books on the go.
