The Duke Humfrey Library at Oxford is perhaps one of the oldest
and most revered libraries of them all. With many precious
works in its possession, the library was very strict when it came
to maintenance of the books. One of these non-relaxable rules

back to it's no-fire rule, and that has stood till date.
