So I'm popping over to the universal library for a bit. Can I get any of y'all anything?

I was hoping for the unedited version. I already own the heavily edited version from our universe.

A proof that P = NP, assuming it’s true, could be very simple indeed: All you need to do is find a single polynomial-time algorithm for any of the many known NP-complete problems. It’s the proof of the reverse that’s necessarily complicated.

I would like the most current copy
of the “Junior woodchuck guidebook”
It seems to answer any question,
build and operate all machines
and allows its user to get out the
the most impossible of problems.:smiley:

I would also like the complete “Notebooks of Lazarus Long” not just
those included in Heinlein’s stories, I want the raw notes
of the interview while the Senior was in the rejuvination clinic.

maybe the complete works of Dr. Jubel Harshaw and if that is checked out
I would like the Martian-English Dictionary by Dr Michael Smith and G. Boardman R.N
(I not sure on the spelling of her last name)

I think this is all in the same wing of the library:D

I have misplaced my copy of Electronics for Dogs, if you happen to see it.

Remember that we’re not limiting ourselves to this timeline. Let’s have all the Irish books from that other one where the pre-Christian Irish picked up writing from the Romans in the trading posts and actually used it.

I’ll take the next dozen or so Master Li and Number 10 Ox books, by Barry Hughart.
And the rest of the Dorothy Sayers mysteries.

A few moment’s consideration will reveal why that last sentence isn’t true.

I was thinking Milky Way Galaxy, Orian Arm, Sol, Terra (Human dominated) English speaking, North American 1900 to 2500 CE (old calendar) Biographies by
Robert A Heinlein.
the fictional writings are housed in a much larger annex nearby.

I guess I’d like the Wolfram and Hart reference books in Wesley’s library. The HHGTTG, the books at Alexandria. The extra book deleted in the new timeline by Dirk Gently. The actual Neverending Story. Whatever Primer for young women there was in the semi eponymous novel bout which. Your generic STTNG PADD.

The remainder of the Flashman Papers, by Sir Harry Paget Flashman

Hear, Hear!

Seconded for Sir Harry’s papers!

My copy of the Necronomicon was expurgated (with laundry markers!) by Presbyterian busybodies. Can you grab me a clean one?

Based on discussions in this thread, I’d like a copy of that book Nietzsche wrote after he recovered his sanity, learned English, and made clear in that comparatively prosaic language just what he was driving at, and whether his “Will to Power” meant power over others or something more intellectual.

“Leaving My Tracks”, the autobiography Kate Bush was contracted to write, but never finished (in this timeline).

I’m afraid I don’t have an ISBN number or an exact title, so I hope you don’t mind asking the BrarianBot for help, but I’ve often longed for a comparative survey of art forms that compares and contrasts each sentiant race on the basis of the it’s sensory range and media. I’ve always felt that the Human visible and audible spectrums were too limiting.

As a sideline, ask the BrarianBot if the pinned up hair and glasses is just a Terran thing, of if the hot librarian look is everywhere

At the front desk they’ve been holding a package for me for a while. It’s a small brown suitcase bearing the initials HH. It belonged to the wife of an old friend. She left it in a taxi at Gare de Lyons. A mutual friend tried to catch her as she ran for the train, but couldn’t.

There didn’t seem to be anything of value inside. Just some papers and nasty carbons stuffed into manilla envelopes. Anyway, my friend left it for me at the Universal and I’ve been meaning to pick it up and get it to Hadley ever since. I hear her husband is fuming! Such an impatient and moody man.

There’s a note on top: Anais to Zoe to H.H. to E., the scoundrel! Just tell them you’re my courier and show an ID. I’ve called them and it’s all arranged. Thanks, love.

I’d like a copy of “The King in Yellow,” the edition with the stage directions.
