dc.description.abstractAs I have been exploring our pre-1801 rare book collection I have noticed that some books are more "holy" than others. I am not talking about our rare bible collection but rather some books actually have small holes that go through the binding and text block (A text block is all the pages bound within the book). What kind of animal would dare damage such rare and valuable books you ask! Well not an animal but it seems some insects have a well-developed taste for literature. These “wormholes” as they are known are caused by bookworms!
