Sunday 13 June 2004 — This is more than 20 years old. Be careful.
I was browsing the web for used books today (Alibris is wonderful), and saw the condition of one book described as “slightly shaken”. I’d never heard the term before, but found it in Carl Noe’s Book Collector’s Glossary:
- shaken
- A condition characterized by very loose binding.
I couldn’t find any definition for another word: “shelfcock”.
