The Hindenburg

Opening credits, if you will. On to the action:

  2. You have got to be kidding me. You obtain the book, and the contents include a Flipbook feature plus music? WOW! This is brilliant beyond belief.

    And that is some last name for the book's author, makes me think of that Monty Python sketch.

  5. After seeing this, I had to look up the name. Because, you just KNOW this kid (who probably got in trouble a lot as a kid) went on to become something, right?? :=)

    Now I wonder if it's this Karl Coryat...?

  6. Okay, I couldn't help myself. With a little more digging, I found Karl's email address. Hopefully the email address is good...because I've invited him to take a look a this blog entry.

  7. Bella, I've been in contact with Karl before, he was amused that these were still around but wasn't interested in having the books back.
