Check out this link to the Against the Day Wiki, a collective creation of many devoted readers. Some of the material is decorative but unenlightening (a vintage logo for Pinkerton's Detective Agency, e.g.), and some of it just cross-references to Wikipedia, but some of the entries are great.
The entry on "Iceland spar," for instance, was truly enlightening (pun) to me. It really does create double images. Here's a photo demonstration: http://geology.about.com/library/bl/images/blcalcite.htm
