Y’all have seen the card catalog generator that’s been making the rounds? It’s cute, but it got me thinking that I would love to have a small supply of the real thing. We got rid of our card catalog a few years ago, but librarians being what they are, I was sure someone had stashed a few away, so I asked around. Sure enough, there was a stack of a couple hundred cards with my name on them. Yay. And they’re lovely cards, too, with a nice patina, lots of notations, and excellent titles for collage work.
I think I’m going to try to figure out how to bind some of them into a book. Somehow, the idea of a book made out of catalog cards is extremely amusing to me.
