I’m bringing all my sass to #thelibraryofcongress National Book Festival. My fellow #writers and #bookworms, which writers/panels are you excited about? #writingcommunity

A green covered hard cover book about “The Life of Queen Victoria and the Story of Her Reign”. In the middle is a black-and-white picture of Queen Victoria, surrounded by the Royal crest. In each of the four corners of the cover is a different coat of arms. What Coat of Arms they are, I have no idea. I will do my best to describe them however. All coat of arms have a crown on top them, and are supported by oak leaves. TOP LEFT: has four quadrants. Top left square has a background of gold and an outline of an anchor with an arrow through it. Top right square has a background of green and has a gold what looks like a horse and a yoke (?). Bottom left square has golden plough share on a green background. Bottom right square has a green caduceus with a gold background BOTTOM LEFT: a gold harp on a green background TOP RIGHT: has four quadrants, separated by a thick red cross. In the centre of the cross is a green thing that I can’t make out I’m sorry. It could’ve been scratch. It might be a lion. It could be an island, I don’t know because I’ve never seen or studied coat of arms. It also has a top border with green ivy leaves on gold. All four quadrants have a green background with gold figures, as follows. Top left square it appears to be a stout or a giant river otter. Top right square it looks like an axe and a saw. Bottom left square ploughshare. Bottom, right square a sheaf of wheat. BOTTOM RIGHT: on a gold background, is an inner ornate frame of red. Within that frame is a rearing lion facing left

This is the only publication date I could find, on an inner left page. Text is as follows: Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1901, by W. E. SCULL, in the offce of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington.

“The Life of Queen Victoria and the Story of Her Reign”

This rare book I find ultra cool because 1901 was stamped into the book to record when it entered into #TheLibraryOfCongress!

I get daily "Today in History" emails from #TheLibraryofCongress
Today they made no mention of the death of Malcolm X on this date in 1965. History is being destroyed by the fascists.

It's extremely important to our history and future.

I have to find my pics from my last visit of quotes around the library.
