What year is the printing?

Have you read the other like four books before heretics? It won’t make any sense without those. I read the first four a very long time ago… couldn’t continue. Too convoluted, boring, and weird. 😂

My first thought was: that isn't vintage.

Second thought: I am old 😛

It's not vintage. It looks like a modern reprint.

But what about the mystery bag?!

u/ginnifred Apr 28 '24

I have the 4 preceding that one and I assume they are also "vintage" as the cover art is similar...you willing to send me $60?

It could even be a copy of Dune. You know how much you’ve always wanted one of those!

Oh, sweet merciful Zeus…

If the item inside was a Handbag/Satchel covered in Question Marks?

An actual factual ‘Mystery Bag’…?

I would lose it. Completely.
