    I had a lot of nose bleeds as a kid, so my sister would never let me borrow her books because I’d always give them back with drops of blood on random pages.

      Iirc, the first few are 10k and up for actual first prints. The first one had like 500 printed only. After the third or so, they become much less valuable.

    Sometimes when I do this, I imagine an archaeologist finding my book millennia from now and surmising my diet from the accidental smears.

    “We have found that Canadians circa 2000-2050 enjoyed a diet that included tangerines and microwave burritos”

    There’s a special place in hell for people who ruin a book for a meme.

    Is basically the same place where the deep-shit who burned books are roasted inside boilers. But you just stay outside, tied to a confortable door watching them burn from porthole of the hatch. Then once in a while a big green like button lit up and a steam of vapor boils your face.
