From a New York Times guest column by Benjamin Dreyer headlined “My Life in Error: A Copy Editor Recounts His Obsession With Perfection”:

When I was a very young person, one of the jewels of my burgeoning personal library was a book about American Indians (as they would have been called back then). It was oversize, and heavily illustrated, with one of those shiny plastic cases that have a pebbled texture — the better to wipe down the book if you spilled something on it, I guess. I read and reread it, as I liked to do then with my favorite books, and still like to do now.
