Description
The Forbidden Best-Sellers of Pre-Revolutionary FranceFrench literature of the eighteenth century means to us today Rousseau and Voltaire and the "classic" texts that, we imagine, gave rise to the Revolution. Yet very few of the standard works of the Enlightenment were as widely read as books whose names we have never heard, books that were the currency of a huge literary underground during the reign of Louis XVI. Included in this volume are Darnton's translations of excerpts from three of these works.
French literature of the eighteenth century means to us today Rousseau and Voltaire and the "classic" texts that, we imagine, gave rise to the Revolution. Yet very few of the standard works of the Enlightenment were as widely read as books whose names we have never heard, books that were the currency of a huge literary underground during the reign of Louis XVI. Included in this volume are Darnton's translations of excerpts from three of these works.
After twenty-five years of research, Darnton has summarized his findings in one brilliant work that examines the reciprocal relationship between private literature and the public world, the (illegal) spread of Enlightenment thought, and the interesting possibility that the writings of some not-so-famous authors contributed to the fall of the French aristocracy.

keeps the remote from escaping between the couch cushions.
It is NOT glow in the dark. It's a nice blue and has a comfortable grip and it's cheap but not as advertised.

Not Floresent
The remote control cover fits ideally on the remote for the Apple remote but it’s not fluorescent the color is very dull I didn’t bother sending it back because it’s really not worth it for what I paid for these basically this little remote cover just protects the remote from getting damaged .

I'm impressed! Simple but quite effective, affordable, properly designed
Color: Walnut Wood
I normally don't review items unless I am very impressed or feel I need to review to warn others of a particularly poor product.
In this case I am highly impressed! Great price (compare to others made from plastic), well designed and quality construction.
Simple but quite effective. Quality wood support, smooth sanded and beautifully finished.. The wood support is designed and created to properly support headphones without damage to the headband as a simple hook or peg design might
I have a home recording studio and don't want some cheap shlopck headphone holder to damage my $300 headphones in any way.
This support is very reasonably priced, and offers 2 ways to mount. Included double sided self adhesive or using a screw through the hole at the top of the metal bracket. Screw mounting hardware is included.
The metal bar used is incredibly robust but is well suited aesthetically to complement the wood rest.
I would recommend to my friends or anyone who wants a quality, I expensive, and affection headphones holder. Don't hesitate to purchase, you won't be sorry!
