The "641" in
our logo refers to the "Food & Drink" division
in the Dewey Decimal System of Classification, a method of
cataloging books and other items to make them easier to find
on the shelves. Invented by American librarian Melvil Dewey
in 1876, the system is based on ten classes of subjects (000-999),
subdivided such as the 641 category.
