Milestone Monday

On this day, October 30, 1811, Jane Austen’s (1775-1817) Sense and Sensibility was published anonymously as written “by a Lady.” Austen's brother negotiated the printing with publisher Thomas Egerton who agreed to publish the book on commission at Austen’s financial risk. With presumed great relief, Sense and Sensibility received favorable reviews and the first printing of 750 copies sold out in 1813. A second printing was run later that year, and the novel has been in continuous publication ever since.

In honor of Sense and Sensibility’s publication anniversary, we’re looking at both of the Special Collections copies! The first was published in 1856 by Richard Bentley (1794-1871). Bently purchased the copyrights to Austen’s work after her death and began publishing her novels as part of his Standard Novel Series in 1833. He hired illustrator Ferdinand Pickering (c. 1811-1882) to create an engraved frontispiece as illustration for each novel. This was the first time Austen’s work was released in collected editions and the first time her novels were illustrated.

Sense and Sensibility has since been illustrated many times over, shedding a contemporary light on Austen’s characters, including our second holding published by the Limited Editions Club. Limited Editions Club printed 1,500 copies of Sense and Sensibility in 1957 for its members. It includes a contemporary introduction by novelist Stella Gibbons and distinct pen and ink illustrations by Caldecott Medal honoree Helen Sewell. The edition was designed by Joseph Blumenthal and printed by him at the Spiral Press in New York. Our copy is from the collection of long-standing LEC member Austin Fredric Lutter of Waukesha, Wisconsin.

White Rabbit takes Grizzly and Gibbon as hostages and demands for the mayor and the whole city to pay for ransom. Mind you, White Rabbit is rich but she is doing this because she is a bored rich girl who is more interested in being a supervillain and she's doing it for thrills. However, both the mayor and the people of New York laugh off at the demands from White Rabbit. Peter Parker decides to rescue Grizzly and Gibbon even though he had his Spider-Man identity outed at that time.

Later, as the time went up, White Rabbit tries to kill Grizzly and Gibbon when Peter Parker swings in as the Bombastic Bag-Man. The Bombastic Bag-Man fought off White Rabbit's goons. The two remaining White Rabbit's goons surrendered because they are just hired washed-up actors who reluctantly worked for White Rabbit and they knew that she's crazy but they are afraid of her. White Rabbit enters into the room with her Mecha-Bunny and knocks out the Bombastic Bag-Man. Fortunately, the hostages - Grizzly and Gibbon freed themselves and defeated White Rabbit. Peter Parker as the Bombastic Bag-Man is glad that Grizzly and Gibbon are okay.

Quote

One of the disadvantages of almost universal education was the fact that all kinds of persons acquired a familiarity with one's favourite writers. It gave one a curious feeling; it was like seeing a drunken stranger wrapped in one's dressing-gown.

Cold Comfort Farm, by Stella Gibbons

#cold comfort farm #stella gibbons #booklr #reading satirical classics and books describing wage theft is quite a delight #i will say that this quote is in regards to percy bysshe shelley #which is a bit lame #and honestly it's very fun to share books with people #but it can be frustrating when people misunderstand incredible books #i believe jane austen was appropriated by the far right for instance which is whack #something about proper gender roles which is whack when you understand that austen believed in women's financial freedom #built off of the landed which means they're wealth comes from the wage theft of enslaved black people but... i'm getting derailed #cold comfort farm is a good book anyway

Bus drivers in B.C.’s Fraser Valley have issued 72-hour strike notice and could start job action as early as Thursday.

CUPE Local 561 said Monday it had issued notice to First Transit, the BC Transit contractor that operates buses in Chilliwack, Abbotsford and the surrounding region.

“People see BC Transit on the side of our busses and think our members are getting the same wages as other BC Transit workers — we are not,” CUPE 561 president Jane Gibbons said in a media release.

“Our members make significantly less than transit workers across the Lower Mainland, with no pension plan and long hours of standby time for which they receive less than $3 per hour.”

The union said the American-based contractor operates both conventional transit buses and HandyDART service in the Fraser Valley.

The two sides have been bargaining since spring 2022, with wages a key sticking point. The union argues its members earn 32 per cent less than other Lower Mainland transit workers. [...]

British Girls Comics in the spotlight at London’s Cartoon Museum

A display of girls comics art at London’s Cartoon Museum deserves a bit of a plug - so here it is, thanks to Richard Sheaf

Alongside some great temporary exhibitions, comic art on show at London’s Cartoon Museum currently includes a fantastic display looking at art in girls comics, bizarrely unmentioned on the venue’s social media. Art on display includes pages from (Princess) Tina, Girl and School Friend, such as art from “Jane Bond” by Mike Hubbard, from Princess Tina, a strip that is the focus of a new collection…

Rebjukebox 2024 - No. 3

My third playlist of new music from mainly new bands and new artists, with a couple of well known acts thrown in for good luck!! But the tracks are new music from 2024. It's mixed genres of music from many different countries. Makes no difference, where the tracks appear in the playlist, they are all good.

I feel 40 is good number of tracks not too long or too short in listening time for your enjoyment. The whole playlist is only two hours and fifteen minutes long.

I used to do these just through Soundcloud, but thought i might as well add it to my Spotify also. So i will add two links to the playlist and can use which ever one you prefer.

If your a solo singer or a member of a band, then follow me on my Soundcloud page here, if i like your stuff, i will follow you back, if i don’t follow back then sorry but your not my thing. Whatever style of music is fine, i like many stlyes and will take a listen. You should always trust your own ears with music.

You can only follow 2,000 people on Soundcloud, so am limited. But if am following you there, i can see when you share new music, which means you could be added to one of these playlists or the main JIR playlist (one per month). What style of music is fine, i like many and will take a listen.

Enjoy & share, hopefully you will discover some great new bands from taking a listen, stay free, see you soon with No 4.

Ok the links for the playlist:- Soundcloud - Spotify
