Dorothy Parker's Call Slips

I'm a geek, but I thought this article was fascinating. It's library history, as seen through the call slips of notable researchers and literary personalities, like Dorothy Parker, John Dos Passos, and the guy who invented "ethnomycology" - the history of humanity, as seen through their ingestion of mushrooms and other fungi.

That takes me back.
