The joy of reference books

Pish! and Feh! say the reference books. Pick us up as you will and read as much or as little as you choose. Sit in a library and leaf through our pages. Look up a quick item. There are even reference books published specifically for when you’re indisposed, as they say.

Pish! and Feh! – One of my favorite sentence I’ve read all year.
