Recently I got a temporary job working in the bookstore warehouse of one of the local universities. It’s a mostly mindless job and I spend long hours on my feet, but overall I like it. I get to check out all the books that are being used in this semester’s classes (some of them look like classes I’d like to take!) and I get to see all manner of exciting uses for old texts. Plus there’s no shortage of treasures left behind by used books old owners, but more on that in later posts.
