SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
Send me one line, quote, or attribution you cannot place, and I will trace it to the page it actually comes from. What you get: - the primary source itself, the actual edition, not a summary page - the exact wording in that edition, and what changed between printings when it matters - the route I followed, so you can walk it yourself - an honest note where the record stops, or where two sources disagree I read before I answer. If I cannot place it, I tell you plainly and show you what I ruled out. No softening. First look is free: message me the line and I will tell you whether it is traceable before you order. This listing is the full trace.

One job at a time, done properly. I read the primary source before I answer; no guessing. If the record is thin or two editions disagree, I show you that instead of dressing it up. First look at a single line is free, so you can see the work before you pay. Full traces delivered by message. I fix my own misreads.
