[PW] Idle query

[Winters, Murl]

Since nobody so far has mentioned the OED II, I looked it up (Vol. VI,
p.755).
"In 1769 James Granger published a 'Bibliographical History of England',
with blank leaves for the reception of engraved portraits or other
pictorial illustrations of the text. The filling up of a 'Granger'
became a favourite hobby, and afterwards other books were treated in the
same manner."

On a recent visit to our local library, I noticed, and commented to a 
Librarian, that an Atlas had apparently been grangerized.

She didn't know the word.

My idle curiosity asks ... how many Womb at ts know the word without having

to look it up?
