Well, it took me a while to figure out what book was actually closest, since (unusually) I actually didn't have any books sitting on my desk. So, after determining which set of bookshelves was actually closest, here we are: The book: "Design for Accessibility: A Cultural Administrator's Handbook."

My closest book – ‘On Writing Well’ by William Zinsser. Sentence 5, pg 56 – “It must cajole him with freshness, or novelty, or paradox, or humor, or suprise, or with an unusual idea, or an interesting fact, or a question.”

“It”, in this context, being the first sentence of a piece of writing.

From the manual for my camera 5th sentence on page 56: “In this mode, up to 3 picture in black & white, standard, of sepia in the selected modes are automatically recorded each time the shutter button is pressed.”

Very useful, as I hadn’t discovered this setting and did want to do that a couple of weeks ago.
