We often lament that cataloguing is a specialism, a niche activity, that not many people want and for which there is little or no market.
On my way to work, I often see a white van delivering to the various sandwich shops and delis along my route. On the side of the van is emblazoned, "Crispy bacon and cooked sausage specialists". Now I wouldn't have thought there was that big a market for crispy bacon, it wouldn't have occurred to me that a firm could have built a reputation and a business on it. But that white van has been making its deliveries for years now (in fact, they have extended the business, they used to be just, "crispy bacon specialists").
It cheers me up. A world that supports the crispy bacon trade surely has room in it for specialist cataloguers too!
