Kimberly Ann (auntie-nanuuq) | 753 comments The story involves finding a box of papers that have drawings on both sides; it’s finally realized that each page has a number and the art dealer who has these papers sets up an exhibit with the papers strung on wires to create a story.

Do you know the title?

and this update of that post - https://www.nypl.org/blog/2017/11/22/...

I think the idea to pin down every bit of info you can remember is a good one -- is this a book you read before? When/where/why were you reading it? Focus on the details of the book itself rather than just on title/author.

It sounds like it..... I'll let them know...

YEP! Aren't you a "genius" as well!

Thank-you so very much, they are so happy!

Sweet!! Not a genius, just a librarian who knows the right tool for the job and how to pull out the right words to turn something up. Many good-sized library systems have access to a database called Novelist that's really good for chasing down titles based on super specific details :).

I'm a Librarian as well... but I just couldn't get it after days of searching:

Do share your tools!
