I was struck, looking at the Amazon page for the book, by one of its negative reviews. The reviewer, madhatter, wrote: This project ran its course two books ago.

Many staff react against this, saying that curation is the museum's job and shouldn't be reduced to a popularity contest. But if the content is laying fallow, reviewed by NO ONE, why not let visitors take up the mantle?
