The Start of it All


The book that started it all
Hello, and welcome to this new vunderful blog, full of books that have been destroyed to the point of being unrecognizable. The idea for the blog comes from this book right here. Doesn't look like much, does it? I mean, sure, it's got a page sticking out the top…and a mysterious looking piece of tape…but nothing a trusty librarian helper like Imber can't fix, right?








AUGH *death and destruction noises*
WRONG.
Imber could have easily fixed it, before this hapless "professional" got to it. I mean, that must be at least a roll of Scotch tape! (JSYN [just so you know], this is most definitely NOT the way to fix a book with a torn page) Luckily, I'm not the one who repairs the books--I just sit on the sidelines, making snide comments--but Imber had to carefully remove each piece of tape.


Another view of the horrible repair job


The tape (dun dun DUUUN)

Imber's work resulted in, if not a full roll, at least half a roll of tape.








Let me tell you, I still can't look at an I Spy book without shuddering.

Well, that's all for now, folks. Tell us what you think in the comments--we respond to every one, and appreciate ALL comments and questions (unless they're really stupid). .

TTFN,
Ignis

  3. Maybe the inability to find the 'two penguins' got the reader of this riled up enough to seek revenge on the book.

    1. If I ever endeavored to actually complete an I Spy book, I would probably join the ranks of the book-killers.
