from the Audio Bible Club Dear Christian friend, We produce free daily Bible reading notes on cassette for the blind and the visually impaired. We also make these notes freely available to everyone else who would like to receive them. My reason for writing to you is to ask you to mention our service to anyone you know who may appreciate listening to our free tapes. We are donation funded and do not request money for our tapes. We have been established for over 20 years, the reading notes we use are solidly evangelical and Bible based, as well as being devotional in nature. They are an excellent aid to personal Bible study, being especially suitable for someone unable to read the Bible for themselves. If you can help in any way or if you would like more information please do not hesitate to contact us. Free sample tapes are available on request. Email info@bibletapes.org Our web site is at www.bibletapes.org - or write to Audio Bible Club, 133 Belmont Road, Erith, Kent DA8 1LF. from Special Collections Librarian, Book Arts & Special Collections, San Francisco Public Library I read Rosemary Goulding's informative and lovely piece "Telling the Bees" in your February 1998 issue, and wonder if she or you have ever come across this quotation: HANDLE A BOOK AS A BEE DOES A FLOWER
I am researching the inscriptions of the Old Main San Francisco Public Library (there are 24 quotations on the interior of the building), selected by Edward Robeson Taylor, physician and poet, for the library which was built in 1915-1917. I have looked through the major and minor books of quotations, searched practically everywhere for this quotation without success. The closest I've come to a partial source is Seneca, who wrote about studying or working like the bees. If you have run across this quotation in your readings, could you let me know? The sources are to be published in a book about the Library's inscriptions, and this is one of the few remaining quotations left uncited. - andreag@sfpl.lib.ca.us
