December 19. I did not expect that the book about the Coronado Expedition of 1540, which 30 years ago I had to request from the vault of a State Library in Germany, would be digitally available today. It is. Right there in Google Books. Perhaps my irritation over the slow pace with which the print universe becomes accessible, the stubbornness with which it sticks to paper, is just a little too impatient. One century stuck in copyright hassles, that does not amount to much.
