Unless I'm missing something in my search queries, Google ain't coming up with anything. I'm trying to look for samples of printouts from emails (hosts are irrelevant) made in the early 2000's....
Unless I'm missing something in my search queries, Google ain't coming up with anything. I'm trying to look for samples of printouts from emails (hosts are irrelevant) made in the early 2000's. It's for a novel project. While I have a vague idea of what kind of layout is needed, it's one thing to guess, and another to actually see it. Any leads?

That being said, I'm not your average reader - delighting in the likes of Danielewski's House of Leaves and Doug Dorst's Ship of Theseus. I don't read normal books, thusly, I don't write normal things, which then leads me to talking about cobbling a website together with my ancient HTML/CSS knowledge, alongside a bit of pidgin JS to serve as my portfolio.

Well, fantastic! I'll throw down Jorge Luis Borges's "Ficciones" - originally an Argentinian work, it is a collection of short stories that are borderline proto sci-fi fantasy (and I use the term extremely loose here), that he wrote during the late 40s and early 50s. Can't go wrong with the classics!

While it's nice for users to be in the know, purely for the sake of Tildes and other users in the same boat, I personally would discourage Reddit-centric topics because, you know, this is Tildes after all. Is there a way to mute tags? I haven't been a user here for the longest time, coming from The Great Migration(TM), myself.
Supposedly, the newest version of Brewster's is Ed. 20 or so. It looks super comprehensive and reminds me a bit of the "ethos" of "The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows". Thanks for mentioning this. I'll have to take a short trip to the bookstore and see if they have an up-to-date copy.
