reading a new edition of a work, it just doesn t feel old but if you re reading an old paperback with yellowed pages and a half naked chick on the cover, it will undoubtedly feel dated Well, this copy of Nightwings, which was written in 1968, does, admittedly, have the unclad female tho such a pretty, tasteful one , but it s all new and shiny, and I didn t feel the story seemed dated at all
