The Web site for the doll that caused a storm of controversy in librarianship. The doll, whose arm moves up in a "shushing" gesture, is based on real-life librarian and prolific book reviewer Nancy Pearl, the author of "Book Lust." Is she dowdy, or merely sensibly dressed? An insult to the profession, or amusing? And where did she get those comfy-looking shoes? http://www.mcphee.com/laf/ Topics: Arts and Humanities, Arts and Humanities, Crafts, Fashion, Hobbies, Humor, Librarianship, Media, Media, Nonfiction by Genre, Notable People, Sports, Recreation, & Entertainment Last updated Oct 4, 2004 The New "American Girl"
