No one misses the old man when he's gone. Mind you, because my Google+ account is nearing 1 million views I got the offer of a "personal" url from Google. meh.
Where was I? I was ill. And at least at one point I got in some reading. So what was "Herr Professor" reading?
The Werwolves -note the non-American spelling ("Wer" not "were") by Elliott O'Donnell which was published in 1912. O'Donnell was, in case you did not know, one of the UKs most famous ghost-hunters/investigators who spent some time living in Bristol -he died here in 1965.
Why read this?
Because you never know when this knowledge may come in handy with what I get up to.
And WHY did the book make me angry? Well, it's another print on demand knock-off. no information on O'Donnell. Inside -no original publisher/publication date just "we ripped this off with total disrespect to make money".
When I retire from comics I am going to re-publish but in far better editions and, hopefully, get permission from the O'Donnell family.
