For the other side of that particular coin, how about this very minor story: about twenty years ago, a new Museum opened in a Scottish city, and some weeks later the professor of History of Art in one of the Universities there was interviwed (on radio) about it. The thing is, the day before that interview he had asked us, his students, if anyone had been there, since he had this interview scheduled for the morrow. Anyway, that ecvening I saw him walking away from the University Bookshop with a copy of the Guide to that collection: "going to the B----- Collection, then?" I asked. But there's more; another studnet worked in that Bookshop, and told me later that he had taken the book "on approval" to purchase - and had duly returned it the next afternoon. Mean, or what?
