So I'm perusing the Lee Valley 2006 - 2007 catalog the one with all those cool old school bevel gauges on the cover.

On pages 250 & 257 there is a thing called a "Dome Magnifier"

It's pictured resting on a printed page magnifying a portion of the page.


I hadn't bothered to notice before but I realized what work of Non-fiction that page is from.

Do you know what the work is~?

Why, it's "The Yankee Whaler" of course.

I cheated and Googled a few passages in quotes.
