Though it would seem to be stating the obvious that a library features a book collection, when we consider what's become of Barnes and Noble bookstores … From Hilltop News, 1957.

[Inexplicable images from generations ago invite us to restore the lost
sense of immediacy. We follow the founder of the Theater of
Spontaneity, Jacob Moreno, who proposed stringing together "now and then
flashes" to unfetter illusion and let imagination run free. The images
we have collected for this series came at a tremendous price, which we explained previously.] |

How would you shelf our Magic Words: A Dictionary? Someone didn't like where the Hennepin County Library placed it: " This book has been shelved with the Pagan/Wiccan sections within the Library. Seeing this, I thought it was a book of a different nature. Instead, it is a book listing all of the words one might use in slight of hand and parlor tricks. Not at all related to where it was shelved." Indeed, our book seems to need its own special shelf in between two sections; as Library Journal said, "Despite its undeniable appeal to New Age audiences, Conley's (One-Letter Words: A Dictionary) book of more than 700 words and phrases is just as relevant to the linguist and language enthusiast as it is to Occult followers."

Librarians have acquired tastes. (That's a Googlewhack, but surely the joke's been done?) (Thanks to New Hampshire's Keene Public Library for acquiring our Tarot of Portmeirion. We can hardly imagine a lovelier home for the deck than a Victorian mansion!)
The Keene Public Library occupies a Second Empire mansion built c. 1869 by Henry Colony.
