Quip–a witty remark. E-Quips (think e-book or email) is hopefully a witty blog – dedicated to word play such as parodies, puns, and word parallels and stories about libraries that you may not have heard before. It has also expanded to include a few book reviews, nature and observational essays and poems, stories about military and veterans, and tips about writers and writing. It has evolved into an online journal. I also include select re-blogs to admire or inspire.
Hope you enjoy the ride and the fun.
Please let me know if there is word that deserves a riff or a library that has a story to share.
Thanks for joining me in the blogosphere.

Great articles! I really liked your piece on the history and current state of the library on the Midway. It looks like a great place to visit, and a wonderful resource for research.
Future thought: How about comparing “martial law” with “marital law”?

Buongiorno
Ti ringrazio per essere passato a visitare il mio blog e grazie pure per l apprezzamento.
Ti seguirei con piacere ma ho visto che tu non segui il mio blog e ho tolto la mia iscrizione al tuo.
Cerco di dare priorità a chi mi segue e seguirli è un metodo per non perderci di vista.
Sai quando siamo in tanti,mi sembra giusto .
Il blog è un vero impegno,richiede tempo.
Grazie e buona giornata
Se hai piacere a seguirmi ,io seguirò te.
