Where It All Began

I have started to work very hard on my MRP. Research is taking forever and it seems as though the Toronto Public and UofT libraries hate me. However, I wanted to share a picture of the base of all my writing - the 1902 Baedeker travel guidebook Egypt. You have to 'visit' it in a special room at the Toronto Public Library Archives and there are tons of rules to follow in terms of handling it. (It also comes in its own protective box thing.) It is a very interesting read and I think it will be a great paper.
