Oh, *that's* annoying.

So I've been reading Antonia Fraser's _Marie Antoinette_ (a very good read, illustrates the woman's strengths as well as her weaknesses). And I get to page 422. Partway through the LAST CHAPTER. And the next page is... 459, partway through the epilogue.

AAAARRRRRGH!!!!

There was a mistake in the binding process, and a section was missed. That's OK, I called the store I bought it from, and they're willing to exchange it for a good copy. But it means I have to wait until tonight to find out how it ends! *wide eyed look*

Yep, Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, made by Madame Toussaud herself. Who had taught music to their niece, and thus knew them personally. I can't imagine what that must have been like. Not only handling a real human head, sans body, but having it be someone you know. Gruesome, and traumatizing.

yeah, or just really morbid and sad.

but still totally fucked up.

"I knew him, Horatio" indeed.

Ok, that *blows*. At least they're willing to trade so you don't end up hiding behind the stacks, thumbing pages & hunched over like a BiblioWho*re...

Wait, you mean you're not supposed to lurk in bookstores like that?

Well, why didn't anyone tell ME!
