Appropriate, perhaps, but unlikely...and I'd love to know from other 
exlibrans whether he's thought of as passe or as "necessary 
elementary education" that an advanced collector like Farley Katz 
would naturally have already read.

PS I'm also curious as to whether Farley was named for James Farley 
-- my parents were so pro-Roosevelt that it's surprising I wasn't 
named after one of his cabinet members. (I'm also curious as to which 
of the contemporary librarians named "Winship" are related to George 
Parker Winship, and how.)
