A book that has been through a washing-machine is a sad, sad thing.
And damp.
I can't decide which is sadder: today's washing-machine book, or the one at the last library I worked at which had been attacked by a dog. The dog's owner brought the pieces in a bag. They were small pieces.
In the case of the washing-machine, it was a brand new book, which had just arrived a couple of weeks ago. It had only been checked out once, to the owners of the washing-machine. There are holds on that Mercedes Lackey book.
