It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.
Grimm's Grimmest
5 journalers for this copy...
Murder, kidnapping, cruel punishment, and violent revenge - these are not the bedtime stories Mommy used to read. This work presents 19 of the original, unsanitized, unholy tales as they were first collected by the Brothers Grimm - all fiendishly illustrated in full color. With the irresistible look and feel of a creaky old leather-bound volume with aged paper, this collection harkens back to a time when travelers risked roasting or worse and bad manners could yield frightful consequences.
5/2: Man, they weren't kidding!! What a macabre & depressing set of tales! Interesting to read them as they were originally written, though!

Just arrived inthe mail. Thanks!
Quite enjoyable set of stories. Not quite as shocking as I thought they would be - and definitely not as shocking as the ORIGINAL originals were, but still much more hardcore than any of those pissant Disney versions. Much fun.
Mailed out yesterday.

Just got in the mail. I've flipped thought it a bit and the some of the drawings are quite disturbing at first glance. Looking over the stories in the index I'm surprised that the original Sleeping Beauty wasn't included (she was raped while sleeping and awoken by the twins born of it nursing). I suppose it might be in here, though, under a different name.
As you can probably guess, I've read a book or two with the "original" versions before. I've never seen one so nicely packaged though, with colour pictures and such. Look foward to reading this.
