Misshelved
Seen last night at a bookstore: Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass, shelved under Nature Paperbacks.
Roots and branches: observations on trees, languages, lexicography, etymology, etc., by a "laudator temporis acti," a "praiser of time past" (Horace, Ars Poetica 173). All original material copyrighted.
Michael Gilleland is an antediluvian, bibliomaniac, and curmudgeon.
