As you probably already know, The Canticle is a newspaper. It attracts readers of all ages, races, professions and societies. The only place where it doesn't hold a ruling position of the most read (usually also the only) newspaper is the Dalair region, where the orcish newspaper still reigns over the more civilized Canticle.
The latest Canticle can be bought ('buy paper') from the paper boy in Tantallon, for a mere 1 gold coin. Old issues are stored in a backroom at the Canticle offices, but the cultural value of them is much too high to go hiding them on some dusty shelves. I intend to make an appeal to the esteemed Librarian and the owner and editor-in-chief of Canticle, Thaddeus, to get copies of the paper to the Library as well (reading in the library is more convenient than in the slightly cramped backroom), and ask Thaddeus for a permission to make copies of the old issues to put in this library of mine.
There is an issue missing from the archive: the seventh paper ever published, it appeared between two Volume 2.0s. I cannot find it in the archives of The Canticle, so if you happen to have it in a log somewhere, please send me a copy.

*) Unfortunately, this paper was labeled just like the paper before it, to be 'volume 1.3, Virrsmoth 17th', but Bytre has a memory of the publication time.
**) Volume 24.0 came out in Icemonth 29th, 589, and was updated by the Stars and Trivia tournament information to 24.1. As the paper only gained a page and a note in the editorial, 24.0 is not separately included.
