A plastic stencil of a chicken appeared to stand on a tuft of brown grass. Next to the chicken was a free library of cookbooks.

A closer view of the chicken revealed its blue eye. This art was located in the alley behind the Omnivore Books store on Caesar Chavez Street in San Francisco.

The sign, above the enclosure of book, stated that this was the "Free Little Cookbook Library." The one rule was that you should, "Leave One, Take One." A red label specified the library was sponsored by "Omnivore Books On Food."
