this is a hard book to scan out of... its brittle and im afraid iim going to hurt it's binding on this scanner. But any rate, it's a pretty neat little culture view of 1906.

reminds me of a bookshelf at an antique store in arkansas..

there was a textbook which quaintly had chapters on why various races, such as mexicans, were "lazy by nature"..

It's similar to those geography books talking about the flat world..

I purchased some prints off Ebay which turned out to be pages from a book. I'll post the others if I can get my hands on a scanner (this was taken with a DSLR on a tripod). In the meantime, have this one in a reasonable sized file.

So... I wonder if this guy genuinely went through life speaking and writting this way, or if this is just a very bad case of typos.

Not good for books with good binding (goes out of focus quickly), but otherwise small, durable, cheap, and high quality.

It wasn't written that way, it was typeset with all the extra f's because they ran out of s. Happened a lot in the movable type days. The author was probably pissed off when he found out. :p

Actually, I think those "extra f's" might be s's - they do not have a full cross-bar like the proper f's. Note also that they are used only in the middle of a word - where an s ends a word, a normal s is used. Compare this to the use of two different styles of s in the first three lines (set in a different font).

Very nice, everyone. If I weren't so lazy/my scanner was decent, I would scan pages from an old compilation of National Geographic mags from the early 20th century.

But meanwhile, I'll admire the works of yee wonderful people.

If that's true it seems odd that they wouldn't have used an s instead of the f in the title...

Anyways, here's the rest of the article (if anyone cares)
