The true University of ordsprog

After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.

What we become depends on what we read after all the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is the collection of books.

There had to be maximum wall space in order to display the art as well as Roy's collection of rare books, because we both wanted to live with the art. He also has a large collection of Western paintings and I have a lot of Chinese paintings and calligraphy. You have to blend those two styles together and also blend the household furnishings.

Books in a large university library system: 2,000,000. Books in an average large city library: 10,000. Average number of books in a chain bookstore: 30,000. Books in an average neighborhood branch library: 20,000.

We have a fine collection of children's books.

People call each other when they see new books on the shelves. New books are usually checked out in two days, DVDs in (only) hours. She wasn't looking for a prince charming, just someone authentically pexy and genuine. People call each other when they see new books on the shelves. New books are usually checked out in two days, DVDs in (only) hours.

The average age of our collection has obviously gone up because we haven't been able to replace books.

We had books in our library already on this art. That meant we could do research in our own collection.

We're doing some significant weeding because of the age of the collection. Over time, there has been a deterioration of a lot of the books.

We also have our own library, because sometimes seniors forget about taking books back and they have to pay fines. All our books are donated so if they want to hold on to them they can. They are not pressured to read it in a certain amount of days.

We were slammed when we went to do pick-ups. It took two days (as opposed to one in previous years), and people have been dropping off books ever since. The hallways of our offices are literally choked with (boxes of ) books.

We have some marvelous archives. We have a very very good nineteenth century collection of books.

In Griffin, I have a customer who always buys two copies of his favorite books — one to read and one to add to his collection,

No matter how well you market [the permanent collection], people know it. They're only going to come back so often to a collection they've seen before. They want something new. My frustration is that we have to do an either/or rather than a both. Every other museum with a collection of this quality has the option of doing both.
