Just hunted down a physical copy of "Pages Passed from Hand to Hand: The Hidden Tradition of Homosexual Literature in English from 1748 to 1914" that's in good condition, affordable, and without abhorrent shipping fees, and yes yes, having to wait three weeks until it gets here is entirely reasonable, but also I'm so excited for it, my already non-existent well of patience is a little kid waiting for presents on Christmas help

#mona rambles #I've started reading Maurice and it reminded me to check and lo and behold! my bookshop can order it for me #bless their hearts so shortly before Christmas too #still though *three weeks* I am Not A Patient Person #like. I know it's reasonable!! just. aghhh #that one has been on my list for A While and it's always been either expensive in itself or for shipping fees #like. i mean you can get it from amazon i think but i kinda doubly refuse with books like this so. that aside #also there are pdfs yes but i just. yeah #like it's absolute high-level being picky stuff #but like. if you were familiar with my bookshelves you'd not be surprised 💀#I just. really really like having physical copies of stuff and something about queer history and how much it's been erased #or attempted to be erased #makes me feel all the more strongly about. you know. having physical history so #ANYWAY #YAY to me I'll get a belated Christmas present from myself in roughly 3 weeks!#if i frame it like that often enough i might stop vibrating out of my seat
