Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Librarians as Enemies of Books
That first chapter should have been devoted to librarians who mutilate books with embossing stamps or rubber stamps, write upon and muss the title pages, cut open leaves with scarred and ragged edges, write class-marks with white ink on the backs of the bindings, and do with them as one librarian said, We fix our books so they will not be of use to anyone else.
