Here is one for last Thursday, Thanksgiving in the US - a Discovery channel video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at_f98qOGY0&NR=1&feature=fvwp
(People have been invited to create their own video in response and here is a Doctor Who version for fans http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1J_MUUQLlw&feature=related )
I came across it in this blog http://www.readingupsidedown.com/ . I also enjoyed this post about how to treat a book - do your books look well-loved or well-preserved ? http://www.readingupsidedown.com/?p=1799
I love what Anna Fadiman has to say on this subject, in one of the essays "Never do that to a book" in her warm, funny, clever, articulate book Ex Libris - Confessions of a Common Reader which revels in language, books and libraries.
