This little gem was left as a comment to Allison Arieff’s post, Shelf Life, at the New York Times. The story profiles renowned architectural bookseller and publisher William Stout.
There once was a time when books slowly dwindled,
Bibliophiles everywhere felt nothing but swindled,
They wanted their books,
By hook or by crooks,
But alas, in the end, all of them Kindled!
