Genealogist in Providence, A (book)
A book Johnny Dixon and Fergie Ferguson find in the library [The Bell, the Book, and the Spellbinder, 8].
Someone has cataloged this book in 999.99, but according to the Dewey Decimal Classification schedule (21 ed.), 999 is reserved for extraterrestrial worlds. Since when is Providence or genealogy deemed extraterrestrial?

Brad Strickland says it’s a joke. “Providence, Rhode Island is the home town of H.P. Lovecraft. I was thinking that a genealogist would happen across evidence of alien life forms intermarrying with humans.”
