Liketree_and_leaf, I'm grabbing the nearest books:
"Two British SF writers were identified as offering the best potential for adaptation: Fred Hoyle and John Wyndham." (Time And Relative Dissertations In Space, ed. David Butler, 2007)
"This went through two more editions during the Elizabethan period, after Veron's death." (part of endnote 7 to Carrie E. Euler, 'Bringing Reformed Theology: Jean Veron' in From Strangers to Citizens: The Integration of Immigrant Communities in Britain, Ireland and Colonial America, 1550-1750, ed. Randolph Vigne and Charles Littleton, 2001)
"The pages of the publication are printed on the quad sheet in an order determined by the pattern of folding to be applied to it during the binding process; the arrangement or 'imposition' of the pages on both sides of the sheet is complex, and the editor will usually be asked to check running sheets - a set of unbound pages - to ensure that the correct order results once the quad sheet is folded and trimmed." (New Hart's Rules, ed. R.M. Ritter, 2005)
and adding something from the book which is always falling onto my desk from the shelf above, in the interests of fiction:
"The sheepdog came stealthily into the kitchen and lay in front of the fire with its eyes fixed on the man as he spoke, and its head resting on its paws." (Colm Toibin, The Heather Blazing, Picador Thirty edition, 2002)
