So I was doing a search online for this book we got in at work the other day, and I came across this:
TROTZKY, (Leon). .THE BOLSHEVIKI AND WORLD PEACE. Introduction by Lincoln Steffens. NY: Boni and Liveright, 1918. First US edition. Hardcover. Blue cloth lettered in red. 238 pp + frontispiece portrait. Spine slightly darkened with red lettering faint; light damp spots to covers, mainly at the margins; ink name, small rubber stamp, and red ink note, at top margin of front free endpaper; rubber stamp to rear free endpaper and top margin of several pages; text paper yellowed; else a good, tight and unworn copy.
USD 15.00 > other currencies ordernr.: 21874 bookseller: Steven Temple Books (CANADA)
Steven Temple Books is a hop skip and a jump from where I used to live in Toronto. So, I fire up the IM with one of my Toronto lackies and BAM, I have a book waiting to be shipped to me.
I am so very, very, very excited. You can't even believe how excited I am at this moment.

4. I'd rather have the History in Russian. |

Not that I could read it, but it would be cooler.
Poseur.

And, since you're in Canada, you don't have to worry about your government finding out about your purchase! Hoooray!!!

15. Your whole Stalin/Plug propaganda plan is useless. |

We all know that Marx and Engels were both fans of plugs.

It's a turning point in every young ladies life. Scanning the offerings, eyes lighting up over some particularly delectable specimen, the discreet exchange of currency, and then a little alone time. A slow, probing push, that new new feeling as your purchase takes over your being, and you sink into an oblivion of pleasure with your find.
