¨£.#,&¨££. my greatest treasure, the &,§.&,¨¤¨#
,§,§,&..¤. book of stars, is a combined map, &¨&,£¨&#,§
,§¨&¨#.£&¨ calendar and timepiece as long as you &.&¨£.¨#,@
,¤¨&¨&¨.§, know what year it is. every page is a &,&¨£,#@¨£
.#¨¤¨@.#£. grid of nine starfields, hand drawn, &¨§¨¤,¨§,#
,§.@,§¨,§. below which are written coordinates in £.&.£.#&.§
¨#¨#¨@¨##. both space and time. a lot of it is £¨&.¤,,¤¨§
¨#.¤,¤..&¨ applicable on earth, but not all. it ¤¨@¨£.&&.£
.&.&.¤,#£, hints of other places - some stars ¤¨¤,§,,£,¤
¨@,¤.#¨¨¤. reordered, some names i have never £¨§¨&.¤&,&
