Oh well, anything to drum up a little more business.
Crystal quotes Benjamin Franklin:

"The Body of B.Franklin, Printer; like the Cover of an old Book, Its
Contents torn out. And stript of its Lettering and Gilding, Lies here,
Food for Worms. But the Work shall not be wholly lost; For it will, as
he believ'd, appear once more, In a new & more perfect Edition,
Corrected and amended By the Author."
