If I had $1,000,000.00
Aug. 3rd, 2003 09:24 pmNo, not the Barenaked Ladies song, although I like that.
No, it's how I'd stock my very own personal reference library.
A Windows-compatible, searchable CD-ROM copy of the Stith Thompson Motif-index of Folk Literature can be had for $400, plus a $20 setup fee.
I want it so bad I can taste it.
I also want an Oxford English Dictionary, a copy of the Annotated Alice to go with the Annotated Mother Goose and Annotated Sherlock Holmes I already own, a complete collection of the Child ballads, and, while I'm wishing, I'd really like a pony.
I'm not even planning to write novels. I just want all this stuff to improve my PBeM posts, and maybe to have on hand if I ever decide to GM again.
Any wealthy benefactors out there?
