Goldstein previews

Goldstein previews are books that are unique to the Goldstein Library collection that are available to check out.



C D B! by William Steig
Text messaging short hand is unique to cell phones, right?  Not really. The Goldstein Library has a book featuring text short hand so intense that even the best texters will be clueless, and to top it off, it was written in 1968.  Don’t believe us? Come check it out.
“I M A U-M B-N.”  means “I am a human being.”
“U R N N-M-L.”  means “You are an animal.”
 
The book is called “C D B!“.  Can you guess what it’s short for? Hint: look at the cover art!
