...These academics were anxious to publish, as they usually are; their literary agents told them there was a good thing going here and they should not miss out on it. Very few of them had any new ideas, but that mattered little. There they were, with more words in print. Along with the carnival came a book by Jacques Barzun, the former Dean of Faculties and Provost at Columbia. The Barzun book, called The American University, entered the carnival quite by accident. It was completed before the Columbia rebellion. Despite this lack of immediacy, or more likely because...
...main part of the store is the paperback area with an exceptional fiction section. The selection looks like the natural, obvious one for a student community, but--and this is the book store manager's big headache--there are at present "67,000 paperbacks in print," and the next book listing them all will probably double in size.

Then the drawing was glued to a cherry-wood block. Next, two engravers incised the design upon the block. Several black-and-white prints were made from it, and these were then glued to other blocks that were incised in turn so that each could be used to print a single color. In the early 18th century, print-makers were largely limited to various vegetable-based inks of red and yellow. By the 1740s...
