Notes: I reread the first volume today and found Jeff Beck. :D Those of you who know Led Zeppelin probably know that Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page used to play together in a group called the Yardbirds, just like Eric Clapton before them. When Leo and Sugar try to save Cesar and come to Dorian's castle they are seen by one of Dorian's men who looks pretty much like Jeff and is called "Beck". You might have noticed this already but it took me a year to notice^^'. Did anyone find any more musicians in Eroica (other than the members of Led Zeppelin)?
For those of you who don't know Jeff Beck here is a photo.
EDIT: Actually you find him earlier when the three kids try to break into Dorian's castle. I tried to photograph the pic but it became pretty blurry, sorry.

Notes: Someone found this book in the library at work and they let me keep it because I found it so amusing. It is a children's book from 1959 titled "The First Book Of West Germany."

The author, Norman Lobsenz, thanks "those members of the New York consulate of the German Federal Republic who so kindly read the manuscript for this book and offered suggestions concerning it."

If my fingers hold out, I'll try to post the whole thing. It's a very short book--58 pages. It has simple words and phrases in the back, too. I'm sure the German members of the community will find this particularly amusing. I know I did.
