Photographs of original book excerpts are presented in chronological order, along with the book's title, author, and publishing year. Topics include the fashionable quality of the radish; the care and feeding of children, convalescents, and women; and recipes for beef toast and clabbered milk. The back of the zine contains invented blurbs from Karl Rove, Adele, and Martha Stewart. The author, a research, metadata and zine librarian, provides her own Library of Congress Subject Headings.
