The blog Awful Library Books catalogs the worst books found on library shelves. Yesterday's post was "I Want to be a Librarian" from 1960. The blogger wrote: "Thanks to anonymous submitter for this wonderful relic from the past! Submitter says there is lots of information about the card catalog and finding good books. (I wonder if this counts as a good book?) I quickly breezed through the WorldCat holdings and A LOT of public libraries are hanging on to this title. Please do the profession a favor and get something more current." I found this blog through a Times article article about it. It also has a presence on Facebook and Twitter. Good for a laugh now and then.

That Dee Snider book is an amazing cultural artifact on par with the Lorenzo Lamas Lp from the same time period.
