"How can I help you?" "Ahhh yeah, may I borrow Mozart and Beethoven's original sheets, the original bible, first comic book to have been ever made: Marvel and DC included, a couple of newspapers highlighting important events and the first map to have ever been made, including Columbus' map just for extra information. "Ok" "Oh and do you know where to set up a ebay account by any chance, I need to sell a couple of things..."

As an artist who works for videogames.. and seeing games disappear forever since their rights are gone or bigger companies remove old games so that they can show the NEW ones (Like the very first mafia) and make consumers forget about old ones hurts very much.

@elise8276 Год назад

Funny enough, two large fires burned down the library in its history. The first one not being so damaging, the second one burning over 2/3rds of the librarys collection at the time. The government then commissioned a new library to be built of entirely fireproof materials to avoid another disaster and VOILA! The Jefferson Library was born
