Formerly inside cover of Western Sibley... R.I.P. (no pun intended!) |
* you know a field guide is handy, like the mini-Sibleys and everything in the Kaufman series, when you have to duct-tape the spine repeatedly and the covers get shredded... as a librarian, it pains me, but those books are imparting some serious knowledge!
Such is the transience of life, and the sine of a life well lived. A pristine book is a book never opened, a book wasted : )
ReplyDeleteAll three of our copies are shredded into at least five pieces. Granted they are old and well-used, but I hope the second edition has improved binding.
ReplyDeleteAlso an important point. Sibley's is great but the binding was really awful.
