Millions of Dollars Beneath My Fingers

The ultimate birthday experience - I handled a First Folio. And took pictures with it.

I also handled a Mark Twain manuscript (in his own handwriting), a first edition Euclid geometry book (as in 16th century), a proclamation signed by Queen Elizabeth I, a letter signed by the Earl of Leicester to Queen Elizabeth, a 1482 German book, and Mendehlson's original composition for "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

I was a very happy nerd today.

Cheers!
