I discovered it last year (even wrote a post about it http://bibliophilica.wordpress.com/2013/07/03/why-dont-they-male-games-like-this-any-more/ ) and it seems there are different editions of it featuring different authors, as the one I pictured is a different set than yours. My "friend at the bar" said the one I pictured was the same one that he remembered as a child. What a fun way to learn authors and their works. I can't believe my parents never got the game for my brothers and me when we were growing up.<br />-JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-73827758431890476202014-01-31T17:21:44.250-08:002014-01-31T17:21:44.250-08:00I will indeed.

Wouldn't it be great if there was an easy way to compile and organize them? Just thinking about it makes me a bit dizzy.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151339860580266808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-82108080462862694562014-01-29T16:23:29.853-08:002014-01-29T16:23:29.853-08:00Oh cool!
