Does your library have the one best dictionary—and that’s all? A single encyclopedia? Shakespeare’s best play—and that’s your only drama? The King James Version of the Bible, to the exclusion of all other religious works and commentary? Do you only collect sound recordings of baroque music, Leonard Bernstein, hip-hop, comedy, or Russian nationalist composers? Or do you have just the single best recording in each genre?
