The Book of La

Here may be found the first edition of the Book of La, published in anno societatis 47 (mka 2012). It is also called the College War XVIII edition, as it was first presented to the world at that event (of which I was the steward). The file presented here is slightly different from that which was printed then, as there is no simpler way to discover every possible error than to print and distribute fifty copies.

It is presented here largely for historical interest, and so that if I find more errors in later editions, I can look back on this first attempt to cheer myself up.

The first edition may be downloaded here (2.2 MB .pdf file, 43 pages).
