Where books go to die
A book town is a small rural town or village in which second-hand and antiquarian bookshops are concentrated. Most Book Towns have developed in villages of historic interest or of scenic beauty.

Nixon was better than LBJ.

Re: fiscal conservative. There are two things that made this cartoon seem true. First, congress has more to do with spending than the president and Clinton was the only one of those guys who had a republican congress during a significant part of his term. Second, Clinton benefited greatly from the so called 'peace dividend', the budget savings generated by the downsizing of the military and base closings associated with the end of the cold war.
It is a clever cartoon but, in my opinion, misleading.

That is very interesting. It seems that newer libraries don't want old books in their new facility so they have to send them away somewhere.
