Hummel Faust (At War)—March 3, 2014

Since September I have had this deluxe edition of Goethe's Faust (by Goethe), awaiting my attention, and at first I said no, but it just had to be Hummel.

The spiritual war was not so easily resolved.

After the morass of Space Gods of the Gods, this project was a short walk on dry ground.

Another book too large for my scanner, though not so wildly off.
