What Catalogers Go Through

An excerpt of a conversation between myself and a rare book cataloger:

2:27 PM AKD: Are you really cataloging a book called Pigs and Pigs and Pigs?

2:28 PM me: I am

  it's an artist's book

  of course.

 AKD: Of course!

 me: the title is tres amusant

2:29 PM but i mean that in the worst possible way

 AKD: :) I was hoping it would be more literal. Because, you know, pigs are neat.

 me: ME TOO

  but alas

  it's just abstract art coupled with pseudo-poetry

2:30 PM AKD: Gross. I am cataloging a book that is either entitled 13 Hats or is by a group of artists who call themselves 13 Hats even though there are only 11 of them.
