Re: Short story which was accurately titled, “Story written in the margins of Flatland”.

I have a copy of both books, it is still on my bucket list to hand-copy the short story into my very early edition of Flatland - it still has the rough scissor cut edges and thick, yellowy, uneven paper more like papyrus than paper.
