Discussions on odd collections launched me into a vectored train of thought. Macaulay's _Motel of the Mysteries_ is a few years old, but still a highly entertaining read. Although not really an oddity, per se, but a humorous look at how we curators can sometimes guess wrong and unwittingly place objects completely out of context. I'd recommend it for any museum library. Sometimes it's good to laugh at ourselves. It keeps us humble and sane. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Henry B.
