Bag of tricks...

My proverbial bag of tricks, happens to be a box. A box of history. Some of which I use, and some of which I would like to use, but anyone that I could call to ask how, has passed away. Look at the price tags on the books of gold leaf. Today a book of gold leaf runs $35-$45 depending on the day, and the price of gold. This old gold works so well, I'm sure that the quality of a 40 year old $2 gold book is far better than the $40 equivalent of today, and the ease of use is night and day...
