.
Holy Shit, it even garnered a mention in the Guardian.
Why am I not shocked?- https://www.kickstar…detritus
- looks like his vers of Walden has nice annotation but the comparison text is only in the Guardian example. Nice example though.MrAbominable

- it's not just an "abridged' version - which almost always suck assGnash
