Remember that mis-scanned book I posted about a few days ago? Greg Allen is selling a print version! Well-Meaning Thoughts On Wohlgemeynte Gedanken
In fact, between the time I started this post last night and this morning, Google Books has removed the distorted copy of Wohlgemeynte Gedanken from its site. In its place now is a plain scan, low-res, but entirely legible, and a digitally generated cover image [but with the same, mangled title]. A side-by-side comparison [above] shows the same underlying scans, which means the distortions--and the fixes--all happened in post.
It also means I'm glad I grabbed the full PDF when I did. And that I formatted it, created a cover, and made it into a print version. Instead of the distorted black and white cover Google Books [still] shows online, I went with a beautiful full-color shot of the gold-stamped leather binding.
Also, while looking for a "Previously" link, I realized that somehow I had never posted about one of my favorite books, A Million Random Digits With 100,000 Normal Deviates.
So now I have.
Finally, a book worthy of requesting in a Kindle edition.
Not to be That Guy, but there is also a PDF download available on the Lulu site for $2.99.
Doh! I was referring to the million random digits.
Not to be That Guy, but where is the free download?
The ending was completely unexpected.
The demographic for "A Million Random Digits With 100,000 Normal Deviates" seems interesting since I get Male Testicular Exam Model Anatomy as a suggested item.
What do them random number buffs do in there spare time?
All of the recommendations are pretty special. Three Wolves, milk, a sensory deprivation tank, "Birth Control is Sinful", a horse-head mask, and six pounds of ground beef.
They are, dare I say it, "full of whimsy".
Your comment is the punchline to a joke that's yet to be written, yeah?
You can blame the "amazon oddities" tag for the clustering of "whimsy" products.
If you read the reviews, all will become clear grasshopper.
