So what are you actually asking us or telling us Truss?

Are you just showing off that you have a copy of The Ring from 1952?

Just letting people see the rankings 60 years ago...

Never heard of guys like Williams....Find it interesting..if you don't.

Are any of the pages stuck together?

It is interesting, as once you get a couple down the list, then the quality, or at least fame, of the people drop off rapidly. This seems to mirror the current state. Plus ca change plus c'est le meme chose (or something like that)
