Tonight I started on the massive task of putting dewey labels on our book collection. The evening started out innocently enough; I got the non-adhesive clear contact that I'd bought a while back and started covering some of the more precious books. But after half a dozen or so, I decided to see what they'd look like with the dewey numbers
we'd toyed with assigning.Well, shucks, if that ain't a pretty sight:
Now, only fifty billion books to go. And of course, turns out most of the books that I obsessively covered are in the still-to-deweyise pile. But the linguistics section of the library totally looks like a library now. A really old library full of dictionaries and ridiculous phrasebooks.
