at the thrift store today, i got an old aacr2, from '78. it's got a brown cover. i think it's the first second edition, so to speak. the weird thing, though, is that it's not a library copy. so, most likely, someone bought a copy of 'anglo-american cataloging rules,' in 1978. they hung onto it through, like, two revisions (dark green 1988 and light green 1998--that's right, i catalog books by color), yet decided to get rid of it now. why get rid of it? why now? ooh, maybe somebody died. ooh, maybe their job opened up.
kara: i haven't slept in a couple days, so i think i'm going to go to sleep.
