Bet you have some like these in your house

I've gotten several pointers lately to the very-fun-but-rather-distressing Awful Library Books blog. Here's the blurb:

Awfullibrarybooks.wordpress.com is a collection of the worst library holdings. The items featured here are so old, obsolete, awful or just plain stupid that we are horrified that people might be actually checking these items out and depending on the information.

I hope we've gotten rid of our worst offenders, but I took a quick look through the current batch of books we've identified for removal. Most were perfectly reasonable purchases to make when they were new, but the passage of time has definitely taken its toll. Here's one we - ahem - couldn't decide about retaining.


Don't worry, we decided.
