Volume 28 on Shelf 4 of Wall 4

But when I go directly there using browse, it doesn't seem to be the same text.

Hey hliyan! I'm glad you're deeply exploring the library - did you make note of the page number?

Sorry, I just saw this. Sadly, I've forgotten the page number. But I'm sure it's recreatable.

Thanks for this. The Library of Babel was one of those ideas that first got me thinking deeply about the nature of knowledge as a kid.
