A total house fire destroyed my excellent collection of books and magazines (huge collection of near mint playboys- had playboy #2). I've purchased only a few since then and in the past year was planning on get rid of anything and everything that I didn't really "need".

Not now. As books are banned and rewritten and the past is totally washed away, I will have my little cash of books, real books and they will forever speak to the past.

Tragic in more than one way. Keep up the good fight. I still have a dictionary or two that actually knows what gender is.

Thats gut wrenching.

My books & all my great grandfathers hand tools from the Progressive Era are my most prized possessions. With them, I can pretty much replace everything else.

I have a couple important history books but nothing old. What good ones do you recommend?

Please explain the re-writes bit.

I know what a rewrite is and how its done. I was thinking more along the lines of why then in particular, what were the names of the groups that instigated it, ect...
