I am thinking about tomes and BOOM, here comes Billy with tombs. Just another great example of his art. I have some eleven pounders on my book shelves too: e.g.The People's Almanac 1975 and The Word Finder 1947. They don't mention my mother either but they do have some 'Fom The Library Of' stickers signed by dead relatives and unknown ghosts from used book stores.
