Amber is warm. Diamonds are ice, they're cold. Amber glows. Diamonds sparkle. I don't want to be dazzled. Give me something real. Give me chapbooks!" ― Suzanna Taylor Jones “The roads were thronged with petty chapmen, with their news-sheets, tracts, almanacs, cautionary tales, pamphlets full of homespun wisdom; pedlars with trinkets of all sorts; and travelling entertainers." ― The Oxford History of Britain: 2021 Edition edited by Kenneth O.
