Blades upon Books - Traditionals

I know it's off topic but my fear of flying-like most fears IS irrational but it's all consuming. When young I used to fly 6 or 7 times a year, didn't really have any frightening episodes but I found the whole thing terrifying, my feeling of balance got disturbed, extreme claustrophobia, massive anxiety beforehand which booze or tranqs did little to alleviate. Then I just got too freaked out so it means travel is by car or ship, train expensive, limiting. Ships don't really scare me much, though I've been in some pretty unsettling storms, at least I don't puke like most others do and I love the waters.

I think I wouldn't mind LEARNING to fly;) but my eyesight is diminishing fast & it costs a mint so that rules that out, but it's a control thing-I loved riding mopeds, scooters motorbikes but never much liked being a passenger on one :D:poop:

I've been looking for this book for a long time. I found it (while looking for something else) squeezed between two bigger books.

I wonder if Applegate and Fairbairn approved of the velcro keeper strap on the sheath of this knife. Seems to me it would compromise the silence of one's interdictions.

I would have hired a model, if I looked this cadaverous, and I guess I would hire a model in any case, to represent me on a book about becoming healthy like me. For my money, he's right about the veganism and way overboard on eschewing all fats, even the mono and poly unsaturates. (I'm not saying he's right for anybody else, and not going to argue about it with anyone.)

Lamson Sharp, by the way.

Modern day militants may be enraged by the gendering of knives;) Ladies' knives, Men's knives, maybe Gents' too :D Former times people were more formal & polite, nothing wrong in that.

Reprint of 1897 Sears Roebuck ... tool of the trade for me, I have a bunch of catalogue reprints from the mid-19th Century on into early 20th....use them to identify and date various historic artifacts (if thats what we are dealing with).
