Reader-Is there some law that says you have to put this stuff into every book? It's all a little familiar.
Book-There is a law that all varibooks must carry suitable warnings about changing history.
Reader-Why don't you just print the regulations at the beginning?
Book-At VariLit Inc. we believe in making that warning as interesting and entertaining as possible.
Reader-Well just scroll the regulations quickly and get on with it will you.

Regulations: Classes 6
Book-10 are not officially recognised. However, authors and publishers may use such classifications on the understanding that they will only be given Class 5 protection under the terms of the act. Readers should be aware that all publications that claim to be Class 10, be they romance fiction, science fiction or pornography, are in fact Class 5 Historical Records. Readers should be aware that they have certain rights when reading, watching, or interacting with, "Class 10 Newspapers".
