ALT1 ... that bookseller John Harrison Stonehouse commissioned the "cursed" edition of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (pictured) that was lost when the RMS Titanic sank in 1912?

@Mhhossein: I have added a picture and ALT. Please conclude your review. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:16, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Everything is fine. The hook is interesting, short enough and well-sourced. So is the prose, which is long and enough and well-sourced. Added (pictured) to the hook. Striking ALT0, Gtg with ALT1. Wish you lots of hits. --Mhhossein ^talk 05:54, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
