It’s the “news” approach, lol.

It does sound nice, though, and looks great, too. I like the TinTin panel near the heel and the crossword puzzle label inside.

I'm wondering if there was a particularly good year for newspapers, tone wise.

Whole new meaning of the phrase: if it bleeds it leads!
( post foto of Ricardo’s bloody strings too high guitar here)

Any mention of the adhesive/resin they used to bond the paper to itself? One slide seemed to show evedence of a foaming glue, polyurethane gorilla kind?

I prefer my flamenco guitar spicy,
doesn't have to be fast,
should have some meat on the bones,
can be raw or well done,
as long as it doesn't sound like it's turning green on an elevator floor.
