 I am sure there is a sane way to deal with those charming sets that are
published (mostly by Germans, bless their hearts) over several centuries.
You know the type: DICTIONARY OF GERMAN SLANG FROM THE 1300 BLOCK OF SOME-
THING STRASSE DURING THE PRE-CAMBRIAN ERA. They dribble in to your library
a fascicule or two per decade and every 25 or so years you find you've
collected, GLORY BE, an entire heft or band-- it's ready to bind! Only
problem is that your predecessor or some frisky student assistant bound a
few of the fascicules individually or else you find that the earliest ones
have turned to dust or rotted on the shelves. Or maybe YOU developed a
great way to deal with these sets and you'd like to enlighten me. You can
write me at Maghite@unc.bitnet or just post to SERIALST. Thanks. Maggie
