Literally. The house and furniture is made from 100,000 newspapers, and was
constructed between 1922 and 1941.
Perhaps this is a solution to the problem Nicholson Baker described in
his recent attack on libraries, \”Double Fold.\” Because public libraries
weren\’t keeping old newspapers because of problems of staff, space and
money, Mr. Baker bought some old runs of newspapers up and started his own
private library. This is certainly one way to handle the library problems
of staff, space and money. Make the library collection _into_ the library,
so to speak!\”
