For Book Collectors and Book Lovers of All Descriptions

From The Care and Feeding of  Books Old and New: A Simple Repair Manual for Book Lovers by Margot Rosenberg and Bern Marcowitz

A Biblio List:

BIBLIOCLASM: The destruction or mutilation of books. The biblioclast must be hunted down and publicly humiliated.

BIBLIOGENESIS, BIBLIOGONY: The production of books.

BIBLIOLATRY: Extravagant devotion to books, or excessive concern for them. A bibliolater's lot is usually a happy one.

BIBLIOPEGY: Bookbinding, its art and craft. A practitioner is a bibliopegist.

BIBLIOPHAGY: The consumption of books. The bibliophage , or bibliophagist, devours books, preferably by avid reading. Beware the bibliophageous bug, such as the bookworm.

BIBLIOPHOBIA: The hatred of books. A bibliophobe is someone to be helped, if you can endure it, or utterly shunned.

For lots more interesting and fun information on books in general, and care and preservation in particular, give this book a go.

Brian, I watched that game on TV and it was HORRIBLE, wasn't it?!?! Ugh. That Yankee grand slam nearly killed me. Before that I thought, "Maybe! Just maybe they can still pull it off." But after that "Yankee Spankee," you could stick a fork in 'em. Hitting is definitely a huge, huge problem. Pitching's major, but you gotta hit!

Ugh. It's a good thing I love them so much.

They can't bat is what's happening (I attended Cell Field yesterday)--and the problem lies in their pitching being good! Contreras was awesome, they should use such outings.
