That is usually where worms live, after all. And as you may know, our story is about a worm. But this worm is special. This little worm once lived inside a book. I know it sounds strange at first.

Download or read book Facts about Bookworms written by J. O'Conor and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-21 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Father O'Conor is a poet, who set out to answer these questions: Is the "bookworm" a fact in nature? What is it like? What does it do? What can be told about it? And "they are all answered." The book is in two parts, the first telling about the history of bookworms in literature and the second about their work in books -- in libraries. The existence of bookworms has often been doubted and even ridiculed, but Father O'Conor has seen 72 specimens with his own eyes. "No astronomer, searching the heavens with his lenses, and feeling the throb of joy as the light of a new star breaks on his vision, felt a keener joy" than that experienced by the author when he discovered his first bookworm in the library of Georgetown University. To some authors the bookworm is an insect, to others a bug. to still others a bird making a crowing noise "like a cock unto his mate," and to Father O'Conor, on looking at the Attaginus pellio, "I could but compare it in shape to a miniature whale." The theory of Mr. Blades that the bookworm will not touch our adulterated modern paper is shown to be an error, for our author has found him in the New York World for 1868, and in the Scientific American for 1875. In conclusion, "the facts about bookworms are these" "There are bookworms, the real living insects. They are not a thing of the past, but are doing mischief to-day. They eat not only old books, but all books; not only vegetable fibre but any kind of paper. They are not known. They revel in libraries. They destroy there, where they are not suspected, where the suggestion of their presence would be scoffed at." There is an appendix containing entomological notes by Prof. C. V. Riley, of the U. S. Entomological Commission. The date of the note is 1881. One of the suggestions of Prof. Riley for ridding books of bookworms is that they (the books) be placed in a watertight box and then sunk into hot water. Father O'Conor's little book contains 12 illustrations, nine of them being specimens of bookworms. The book is not only well worth a place on library shelves, but it is well worth reading by the librarian. --Library Journal, Volume 23

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elaine and Johan are preparing to leave Golden City, with Daria and the travellers, in order to search for the Witch-King. The Grand Sorceress instructs Inquisitor Cass to help them. But before Elaine can leave she is arrested by two Inquisitors on the orders of the Emperor. When she resists she is hit with a powerful spell that forces her to concentrate all her efforts on protecting her mind from its intrusion. Taken to the palace she finds that the Grand Sorceress has been removed and the Throne has accepted an heir to the Empire. Realising this has to be the work of the Witch-King, Elaine must defeat the spell that is eating away at her defences if she is to escape and destroy him. Meanwhile, Johan, Daria and Cass are trying to find a way to get to Elaine and break her out of the cell in which she is being held. The Golden City is still widely devastated from the disastrous battle for power that followed the death of the previous Grand Sorcerer. The recent escalating breakdown of social order can only be made worse by the return of an Emperor and the imposition of martial law. The Privy Councillors and Heads of the Great Houses succumb to the power of the new Emperor, as he amasses a huge army. It is up to Elaine and her friends, with some unexpected help, to prevent an all-out war. The third instalment in the Bookworm series, The Best Laid Plans follows on immediately from the events in The Very Ugly Duckling, with Elaine and Johan joined by other favourite characters as they try to track down the Witch-King.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bookworm: An Illustrated Treasury of Old-Time Literature Either the taste for collecting bookplates is much more widely spread than is commonly supposed, or the study of Heraldry is being largely revived, if we may judge by the fact that the Ex Libris Society now numbers over 350 members. As the society was founded less than three years ago, such a result speaks well for the energy of the council and officers. The annual general meeting and conversazione will be held in January or February next, at St. Martin's Town Hall, when there will be an exhibi tion of ancient heraldic documents and charters, in addition to the collections of scarce bookplates formed by the members. It is understood that owing to the annual change of officers, Mr. James Roberts Brown will relinquish the post of chairman, in which case the present hon. Treasurer, Mr. Walter Hamilton, will be pro posed for that office, and some other member of the council will be elected to take charge of the Society's funds, which are in a very flourishing condition, and are expected to show a handsome balance at the end of the year. Whilst on the topic of bookplates, it may be mentioned that besides the new edition of Mr. Castle's book one is also promised, by Mr. Charles Dexter Allen, on American ex-libris,0 UR note-book.
