My latest purchase, haven't properly looked at it yet, it's enormous, weighs nearly 3kg. Second photo is from the final page, I looked at it quickly and saw one of those four legged walkers from Star Wars on the left and now can't unsee it!

I've read this before but donated it so had to buy another copy as I'm now curious to read again after hearing Philippe Sands say that the journalist involved was a Mossad agent, and hearing elsewhere the forger might have been in the Stasi. Also, it's just a great read #photofriday #histbookchat

Piece of plain paper if the docs you're looking at are written/typed on very thin paper. Put it behind the page you want to photograph so you get clearer image. Also, the power sockets are not very high above the table so can be difficult to plug in, cube adapter is useful
