I had to check if this was real, and for once I have good news!

Which is weird, because I can't see the Wookiee getting along with the Saudi. Yet Yoda bridged that gap.

I need to find a copy so this can go in my collection of rare textbooks.

I'd like to hear more about this collection...

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can't give away too many details as it could be identifying but I do have the following in my small collection:

  • A mechanics textbook from 1890 ish that has really good colour illustrations of steam engines and cotton machines.
  • An air force booklet for trainees in the 1940s to teach basic maths and physics starting from simple addition and subtraction written out in words.
  • My most recent addition: a history of electricity and magnetism covering anthropological records dating back to the early days of civilization up to Faraday's experiments which the author dedicated to Lord Kelvin.

It's just such a specific and interesting thing to decide to collect. Very cool!

I never knew I wanted Saudi textbook until now, shit I couldn't even read it..

Accidentally? Makes the picture 1000x cooler.

Notice that at no point do they state that the picture was fake or in any way altered.
