STRIP-ing a book
STRIP-ing a book… not to be confused with yesterday’s post on “ripping” a book. Again, it’s something I’ve put together to help me — maybe you’ll find it helpful….
Upon graduating from seminary, new ministers quickly learn that one of their most unwieldy tasks will be maintaining some sense of order in an ever-increasing library. Even more importantly for those who do extensive reading, is the ability to find a quick and helpful way to “remind” oneself about the positive (and negative) qualities of a book without taking the time to re-read it.
With that problem in mind, I developed the STRIP system. It is nothing dynamic or difficult (and, for that matter, could probably be improved on), but it can be easily printed on a label and placed on the inside cover of a book allotting each book a numerical “grade” by which I can remind myself about its content (Note: the numerical “grade” does not necessarily indicate “good” or “bad”). The label is simple:
Enjoy.
Grace and Peace,
