I believe it is just 2 pages talking about being conquered by the British, and then 6 pages complaining about filthy Dalits.

The remaining pages are left blank so as to be used as Toilet paper. Most volumes are complete though as the practice still has not caught on in India.

You can't aim to be something without reading everything about else how will you know how to be it? That person decided, for some unknown reason, that non-conservatism was going to be their thing, and they elected to find out what is was so they could be it.

Well, I get annoyed when I can't read the titles of peoples books in the shelves they post so I figured I might as well photograph them in a way that allows all of their titles to be legible.

The main reason people post in and view these threads is to look at the actual books and not the bookshelves themselves.
