Entertaining Thoughts

There is a narrow bookcase, about 24 inches wide, that I see when I wake up each morning. I keep some of my favorite books in that bookcase, and recently, I have been thinking about which five books would be fun to catalog first.

Although I have been a librarian for more years than I usually admit, my books are kept in no particular order, except that some shelves in the dining room have cookbooks there. I am quite impressed by my son-in-law Jim, who has arranged his and Anna's books by author.

I have decided that the first one to be cataloged will be a publication of the American Chemical Society, Searching the Chemical Literature.
