Ahhh, the Thomas Paine book is the one I want.
Just TRY and find Paine's "Common Sense" in ANY bookstore. You cannot do it. It is not stocked.
How awesome it would be to have THIS one, this ancient one here. WOW!
Common Sense is one of those books I always look for in a bookstore. I know I can order it, but I want to FIND it, fair and square one day. Rather than order it!
Great site here.
Interesting stuff.
