@patricksrarebks If you're near DC, there's a place called Second Story Books in Rockville and they just got in a decent collection of historical medical books from what I can only guess was a medical professor who used to work nearby, maybe UMD or GW. There's maybe 300. Definitely worth a look.

Anyone here happen to like #pathology and the history of pathology? (I love it)

Still waiting to hear back about the Conservation Tech. Position. Next week I interview for a position as an Archives Specialist in Navy Ref. and Augmented Processing. Much higher GS scale and more research, less hand-skilled work. Oh, to be a single traveler in a yellow wood.

The very last page has this lithograph, which I also can't quite get translated either. Something about looking back fondly on your youth.

It has a beautiful handwritten note at the front, which I cannot decipher, for the life of me. And at the back the most adorable bookplate.

"Orbis Pictius" 3rd ed. of Gailer's "world in pictures": textbook w/ lithographs on nat. history, astronomy, agriculture, world cultures, tech., trades, and other subjects for an encyclopedic intro. to the world's knowledge, w/ descriptions in French, German, English, and Latin.

I'm positively sure (pun intended) this effected my interview performance yesterday. What horrible timing.

Let's not forget to send our favorite academic, group, and institutional accounts some codes for the other place. That way they can join us as a happy family.

Find me in the blue, emilymary. Etc

I'd like to join the bibliophiles in the blue place. Can anyone spare a code?

Happy Constitution Day! Can’t make it to the National Archives Building in person? Check out the hi-res scans in our catalog: catalog.archives.gov/id/1667751

@brownbowlerhat I would have paid $150 cash on the spot. He probably got much less than that after house fees. Sigh.

@EmilyMSutherla1 Someone's got an absolute steal there.

I will forever be haunted by the memory of this Italian baroque painting that I watched, on a rainy day, come out of a covered pickup owned by a cliche Italian man. And subsequently had to watch drive away because he and the auction house owner I worked for didn't get along.

Update: it sold for $150 on invaluable.com and they didn't even mention in the discription that the entire back was covered in manuscript pages...
