I hopped into the lift this afternoon, and was joined by the Rare Books Librarian, who wrote
this, and curated
this. "Hi Des," I say, "What've you got there?"
"Oh, this? It's a 1520 Petrarch," He says, leafing though to find a woodcut to show me. "Lovely illustrations!"
He smiles and jumps out at the fourth floor.
I pick my jaw up.
