EXHIBITING TIP

  In response to a question about backgrounds to line
  exhibit cases for numismatic literature exhibits, I wrote:

  "What I did when I started exhibiting was get a length of
  fabric (I chose a satiny black cloth) from a fabric store
  and cut pieces into the approximate size of an exhibit case.
  I've been using them over and over ever since.  It takes a
  few minutes to lay them neatly in the empty cases, but
  they fold up neatly for transport.   I've never even bothered
  washing or ironing them and they still look OK.  When
  you're exhibiting books and ephemera  they tend to cover
  up most of the background anyway.

  Since most men wouldn't know a fabric store if one landed
  on them like Dorothy's house hit the witch in The Wizard of
  Oz, do what I did: send a woman to buy it for you  (I was
  single at the time and sent my sister)."
