 The books shelf is arranged alphabetically from A to Z. In cases where there's no explicitly designated author/editor, items are filed by title. Find things manually by perusing the shelves themselves, or better still search the catalogue by any field (keyword, title, subject), find the author/editor's name, then locate the item on the shelf. The books shelf is arranged alphabetically from A to Z.

 Good luck in finding anything here. There are roughly three groups of ephemera boxes: 1) ephemera sorted by year, 2) ephemera with no apparent date, and 3) ephemera related to FoAM. If you would like to try to find something specific in this section, we recommend setting aside several hours for random, serendipitous, or [[stochastic divination|stochastic]] beavering. Good luck in finding anything here.
