a squee for book nuts

Via geekchick:

"For the past decade, a small group of rare book experts has sought to re-create Jefferson's library, scouring antiquarian book collections on two continents to acquire thousands of volumes. The entire collection of more than 6,000 volumes -- some originals and some replacements -- will go on display tomorrow at the Library of Congress, looking much as it would have 200 years ago."

Might have to drag myself out to see this!

Sounds good!

Lemme look at my schedule - I have a feeling dotheranon might also be interested. I'll also figure out how long this thing is running...

I was thinking that too. Maybe meet up, ogle books, and swap makeup samples sometime?

That could be a good idea! Will check with D.; will check LOC site to see how long this is on.

Now THAT's a worthy activity. If humans did more things like this instead of all this silly territory, control, and war stuff, the world would be a wonderful place.

Enjoy the viewing!
