To be working with the books, manuscripts, and photographs that you are...For someone who loves literature and history as much as I do, that job sounds like heaven. Could you really schedule a tour? If so sign me up. Ben,

But fear not, it's possible to schedule a tour. (So if enough of you wanted to do a tour sometime, I could do that.) The other alternative is to request to see some of the things yourself. I'd assume they would let you, since they do encourage people to use Special Collections. If you're interested in seeing whether they have a particular 1st edition, just go to the catalog and search for the book, but make sure to set the library to "Special Collections." And then go to the last page, since that'll be the chronologically earliest. Usually the catalog record will state whether it's a first edition or not. Mali-Wan: Mmm, yes. :) Katherine: Hehehe. :) When I signed on, there was a rule listed that said we’re not allowed to sneak people down there. But fear not, it’s possible to schedule a tour.

Or at least you could call it that. That's really cool Ben, that you can actually see those relics, as it were. And how appropriate for you! :D The Clandestine Collection, eh?

I <i>knew</i> I'd be jealous when I found out what you were doing there. Any chance you might be able to, um, sneak me down there to have a look?
