May. 1st, 2013 05:58 pmI stopped logging the books that came in and out of the LFL because frankly, it was a LOT of work to type up all the titles and then check to see if they were there, and adjust when they came back and argh! Too! Much! Work!
I finally had the sense this week to take photos of each of the shelves as I filled them. It's been overstuffed for the last few days - a bookcrosser has been by, and my notebook has a note from "Joe from Utah." There's a parade this weekend down my street, so I wanted it all stuffed and ready.
Unfortunately, I also seem to be turning into the dumping ground for someone who has horrifically damaged books. Books so mildewed and waterlogged that I've been taking them straight out to the trash, not even to the Book Thing. Although it's been raining and LFL 2778 is notoriously *not* watertight, I've found no water on the shelves and books right next to these are pristine. I'd think that if the mildew was my fault, the notebook - which never comes in and has been soaked through a couple of times - would be a cesspit, and it isn't. A little wrinkly, but spotless.
Wow, and I thought it was offensive when someone put the Book of Mormon in there!
I don't know if Malice will have a swap table this year - controversially it didn't last year - but if it does, I'll be scoping it out for LFL stock. I also have books to trade - and despite the snotty self-appointed Swap Table Monitor, they're nice books.
They ought to be. They came from earlier Malices.
