"This book is really excellent. It is a very niche thing, and it is very well done, by a couple of passionate and somewhat maniacal collectors and researchers.
There are excellent photographs (black-and-white) throughout, illustrating various representative styles, with discussions of the various features, functions, dates, locations, markings, and commonalities among different styles and makers." — Jul 17, 2021 08:42PM

“Each party has a platform--a pre-fixed menu of beliefs making up its worldview. The candidate can choose one of the two platforms, but remember: no substitutions.
For example, do you support healthcare? Then you must also want a ban on assault weapons. Pro limited government? Congratulations, you are also anti-abortion.
Luckily, all human opinion falls neatly into one of the two clearly defined camps. Thus, the two-party system elegantly represents the bi-chromatic rainbow that is American political thought.”

“This is America. People do whatever the fuck they feel like doing, you got a problem with that? Because they have a right to. And because they have guns and no one can fucking stop them.”
