PARENTS! Be sure to check your kid's candy! I found my collection of dangerous red books had been syrup-titiously laced with sugary Halloween candy!

I got dragged into looking at the AI generated customer review summaries on #Amazon and while doing this, I noticed that some books had safety warnings.

Hobbit: not to be used by children over 36 months.

Silmarillion: do not use near overhead power lines.

You have been warned.

#loompanics unlimited was a very interesting #bookseller selling #books , many of which would get you in a trouble - back in the day possibly, in these days almost certainly.
However, their #Catalogs contained a lot of great #writing . #goldenrecords is one of three (if I remember correctly...or four in total?) #compilations of these #articles . And even when outdated, still entertaining.
Recommended for the inner #rebel in you.

BEWARE! Out of an abundance of caution, I carefully LOOKED at my spooky season haul of wonderfully dangerous red books only to discover that someone has laced them with refined-sugar logo-emblazoned corporate branding in the shape of innocent children's seasonal treats!
