Sorry, Novelty. They're three postcards from the early twentieth century with illustrations of Chicago landmarks. One, from 1911, has a message in which someone is trying to get their brother in Kalamazoo, MI to contact their ma who is "worried something awful". Hope he did.

g) His name is Tucker. I used to tuck him into my partner's suitcase whenever he left town on business or to visit family. That is, until my partner told me to please knock it off. No longer a chaperon, Tucker is currently enjoying his retirement on top of the bookcase...
h)...where he's a little dusty...
i)...but doesn't have to share the view with Beethoven's bust.
You're next, Novelty.

Believe it or not Dark is the Moon is a fantasy title and not a sci-fi one. And no, that's not the book.
I've been meaning to read Eric Flint one of these days - most of his works are available at his baen online library (and get this!) - FOR FREE - but I figured it could wait until I have the time, so that's not it either.

That's one of my favourite Sci-Fi books ever written Quis. I first read it over 20 years ago, and have read it at least three times since, but not recently, so that's not it.
