    Hmm, I’d settle for just the first two, but also, do cantankerous ghost librarians even exist on the west coast? I feel like those would be few and far between if they do.

        Joking aside and wild tangent, but it’s insane how much you guys(assuming you’re in the US) pay for antique (European) furniture. I bought myself a wardrobe cupboard for 100 Euros. Probably from the 17th century. Don’t sell, because they’re bulky, not fashionable, dark wood, and take up a lot of space. Thing has lasted a few hundred years, will last a few hundred more. Easier to dissassemble than ikea crap too.

        Similar cupboards cost thousands in the US. Company buys them up over here, advertising, transport, fumigation, customs, transport, import documents, etc. etc.

        Something that’s a status symbol in some rich guys house, can be found in many a barn over here.
