The Fragility of Headcaps and the Safe Handling of Books
Pull it from the head, and the conservator will wish you were dead.
Pull it from the spine, and everything will be fine.
Love that rhyme – easy to remember, and important information about using books, especially ones in Special Collections.
This conservator just wants to say:
Your compliment has made their day!
They often think it’s really neat
When others treat the books so sweet
And if this rhyme helps them do just so
Please use it freely so its power will grow!
