Martin: This fine tome is bound in pleather and printed on acid-free paper.

Martin: It will last centuries if not millennia.
Grant: And people will one day look at it and wonder, “Why is that book still here?”

Martin: It will have a place of honor in readers’ homes where it will be repeatedly enjoyed.
Grant: Yes it will be on display with a commemorative plaque.

Martin: You really think they’ll remember me?
Grant: “Purchased by “Mad” Martin, who was found dead under a stack of dictionaries in 2032.”
