Title: 2. By Hand Rating: PG Length: 148 words Competitor: Sabine Round/Fight: 2/C Summary: Kel learns a little more about the book she's chosen for her history assignment.
“You wish to borrow this book, page?” asked the priest-librarian.
“Yes, sir,” Kel replied.
“See to it you are very careful with it,” he commanded. “A hundred and fifty years ago, there were no printed books. This one is hand lettered. Did you know that?”
Kel's father was a scholar, and she'd listened to Neal and Owen talking about books often enough. “Yes, sir,” she repeated.
The priest scowled at Kel. “In fact, there's something else about this volume.” He flipped through the pages, then held out the open book. “The brown pages – like so – are the actual letters of Lady Sabine, bound into the book. Make sure you take especial care of it.”
Fascinated, Kel studied the bold handwriting on that brown page. “Yes, sir,” she said, a third time. She reached out and took the book.

Mmmm...booklust. As a fledgling librarian, I can only approve.
