The Desert News, Utah, reports on the discovery of a 600 year old travel book, The Nuremburg Chronicle:
‘Rare-book dealer Ken Sanders has seen more than his share of old books. But he’s never seen one in Utah quite like ancient tome that made his jaw drop last weekend.
“It’s a real thrill and a treat to hold something in your hand that was new when Columbus discovered America and the New World,” he said of the dilapidated book that is more than 500
years old, making it one of the oldest books ever printed with movable type.’
David Baddiel considers (£) David Foster Wallace and The Pale King in the pages of the Times:
‘On hearing that I was an atheist, the Iranian comic Omid Djalili said to me: “But don’t you want to believe in God?” And I said: “Of course: that’s why I know He doesn’t exist.”
