Hum...maybe one possibility, via Reddit? 1) The "+ t": Adding "t" to "nine" creates the word "ninety." 2) The Pool Cue & 9-Ball: Refers to the game of 9-ball.
Alas, I needed to look beyond by mind. Clever. Wondering if James Laughlin would have solved it immediately. 🤔

5 millions € recherchés pour un fonds Marcel Proust. L’État active le mécénat d’entreprise pour réunir la somme. Enjeu : préserver et acquérir des archives liées à l’auteur. Un signal fort sur le financement privé du patrimoine littéraire. #Proust #Mécénat
#Proust : un fonds inédit à la BNF.
La @labnf.bsky.social lance une souscription pour faire entrer dans ses collections un immense fonds d'archives et de manuscrits de Proust encore inexploré. L'occasion pour son président, Gilles Pécout, de rappeler les missions de l'institution.
Thank you for sharing this. We are delighted to recognise William C. McKeown’s remarkable new edition of The Stones of Venice with our 2025 Book Prize. His scholarship, intro, and editorial work bring fresh insight to one of Ruskin’s most significant works. Thrilled to see it reach new readers.

AGM & Birthday Lecture 7 February 2026 @2pm Members and friends are warmly invited to our annual event held in London. This year’s Birthday Lecture will be given by Professor Robert Hewison on “Arrows of the Chase: Ruskin and the Press”. The afternoon will also include the announcement of the Ruskin Book Prize 2025 winner. Booking details via the link in our bio or on https://bit.ly/3N70VA6 We very much look forward to welcoming you.
Shortlisted for the Ruskin Society Book Prize 2025. The winner will be announced at the Society’s AGM on 7 Feb 2026. The Stones of Venice, edited by William C. McKeown. @utpress @uofmemphis The Stones of Venice, edited, with an Introduction and Notes, by William C. McKeown (University of Toronto Press, 2025) is the first unabridged edition of any major work by Ruskin in recent years restoring Ruskin’s great study of Venetian architecture as moral and cultural history for today’s readers. When John Ruskin published The Stones of Venice in the early 1850s, he offered far more than an architectural survey. Through a critique of Venetian building traditions, Ruskin set medieval craftsmanship against Renaissance formality and linked architectural style to broader moral and social values. His prose, both passionate and precise, shaped how generations of readers understood Venice and encouraged wider reflection on the ethical dimensions of modern design. For more than a century the book has been available only in shortened editions, which focused on its descriptive brilliance but lost sight of much of Ruskin’s wider argument. This new unabridged edition restores the work in full, including sections long omitted, Ruskin’s supplementary materials, and a range of his original drawings reproduced directly rather than through later engravings. It also brings together Ruskin’s own catalogue of Venice’s key buildings, updated with contemporary notes, alongside an appendix of related writings and a substantial introduction that situates the book within the course of Ruskin’s life and intellectual development.
