Dusty Tomes Audio Books are public domain books. If today's technology had been available when first printed, they would be audiobooks already. I am grateful for the opportunity to record them now.
Narrator's Note: I read only as written. These old books were once solid sellers for bookmen of their time. I believe they can shed light on their times and ours. Loving obscure and remote literature, they are a distinct pleasure for me to read to you. These turn out to be distant and unknown only so long as they remain unread or unheard. Aloha.
