"sallyjacobs is one of the best stumblers out there... it's like she has a superpower that gives her the ability to sleuth up the nerdiest stuff on the Web. I'm going to make a fairly definitive statement here, and say that anyone who doesn't have an Internet crush on sallyjacobs, has no heart whatsoever. Do you hear me, Internet? No heart!" --mrvader2u.

I'm an archivist and all-around geek with a library degree and a weakness for beautiful anachronisms, obsolete technology (especially audio), steampunk, and pedal power. My obsessions include digital preservation and teotwawki. My Practical Archivist blog offers how-to advice about organizing and preserving your family treasures. As an introverted entrepreneur, I keep an eye out for (non-slimy) internet marketing advice.

These books might have been awesome at one time (debatable) but as of today? Totally. Awful. I say end the misery and hand them over to Ex Libris.
