942.1 London

The gentleman at the end is Melvil Dewey. He invented the Dewey Decimal System. He also suffered, according to his Wikipedia entry, from "a persistent inability to control himself around women". He's in there because he was part of the zine. 942.1 is the Dewey number for London (library-geek).
Dewey was a womaniser?! Who'd have thunk it! I wonder if he flirted with women by telling then about his new system for categorising books!
