OT - Library books...

Scott in Douglassville, PA

>Ok, so I find out the other day that our local library's in a group of about 20 in the county that allow for online catalog searches, reservations, and renewals (I live on the outskirts of Podunk, PA, and this technological sophistication impresses me). After finding the obligatory Magic Tree House and Maggie and the Ferocious Beast fare, I get to pondering: Hmm, thinks I, wonder if there's anything I'd be interested in. Sure 'nuff, there's a copy of Dunbar's Windsor book, along with Moser's Windsor book (ok, I'm interested in chairs right now...), and Lon Schleining's new bench book . I reserve them. Get a call a few days later - the first two are in, Dunbar and Moser. Pick 'em up.

Now, I'm leafing through these books for a good three days before I run across the first title page in Dunbar's book. Not sure whether to be impressed or saddened. Certainly surprised. Wonder how many small-town library's have autographed copies?
