In a letter to Loewald on September 30, 1956, Wexler complained, “That old bibliograf(ter) David R. [Rapaport]
contributed little (when he could have a great deal) beyond the raising of ‘questions’ and
appealing to the next generation to answer them.”

Explanation:
È un gioco di parole difficile da trasporre in italiano, visto che fa leva sull'assonanza con il termine "grafter" = "furfante", "imbroglione", "truffatore", "corrotto".

Attendiamo eventualmente soluzioni più originali dai colleghi.

In realtà, il gioco di parole è stato un po' "addomesticato" sul piano grafico, con la sostituzione di "f" al gruppo "ph" di "bibliographer".
