A New Message to Garcia

Recently I purchased some rather old books on eBay -- $9.99 for the lot.  The edges had been damaged by something furry nibbling on them, and they had the pungent smell of mildew.  I most certainly overpaid for the paper, but the words printed on them were priceless.  They were written by Elbert Hubbard*.
