We have signings coming up this weekend in Virginia! This Sat @zachweinersmith.bsky.social & I will be at the @barnesandnoble.com in Charlottesville. On Sunday I'll be in Glen Allen, and I'll be bringing stickers signed by Zach as well, so your book can still get both signatures. :)

I'm reading a paper (www.jstor.org/stable/3271205), and would like to read the papers cited by this paper (see image). But they're from <1900, and are written in German. Googling isn't helping. How do I find them? Is this a case where I go to a University librarian for help?
