From Reverend O’Conor’s “Facts About Bookworms”. New York, 1898.
“If you’ve cracked the spine, don’t make a fuss, no need to whine, just give it to us. Burma Shave.” “When you’re in Preservation, just take a look, it might be quite broken, but we’ve got your book. Burma shave”

Roses are red,Violets are blue,We pray the brown stain on this book,Was just chocolate fondue! Roses are red,Violets are blue,There’s a white stain on this page:We sure hope it was just a roux!
Roses are red, Violets are blue, If you put tape on your books, I’ll never EVER love you.
Roses are red Copy-pencil is blue If you wash without testing, A naughty conservator is you!
Roses are red, Violets are blue, If your book falls out of the press, Just tighten the screw!
