Day one of the Reference Sources for Rare Books has come and gone. As I take shelter from the sweltering Urbana-Champaign heat, waiting for a glimpse of some intense mid-western thunderstorms, I’ve decided to chronicle all of the reference works Joel Silver covers in a Google Spreadsheet. I’m already impressed with both Silver’s knowledge and ability to make a long class interesting. I hope for more of the same to come. Anecdotes, pictures, and other fun things to follow, if I’m not struck by lightning in the interim.
