A couple of things about books
Feb. 15th, 2006 02:05 amThe Chicago Hand Bookbinders meeting was at the Harold Washington Library, Special Collections, this evening. We were shown a variety of examples from their holdings. They're strong in Chicago theatre, and Civil War materials, as well as neighborhood history. They'd just gotten in some working scripts from Scott McPherson's Marvin's Room; it made me sad to see them.
Then we adjourned to the conservation lab, which Lesa is in the process of improving. She did a tooling demo.
She said that they are getting a tremendous response to the One Book, Many Interpretations call for entries (See this journal entry). I told her to assign me whatever book she needed done. I rightly guessed that To Kill a Mockingbird was at the top of most of the lists.
I came home to find a box from Bookcloseouts.com. Two pop-ups, two Dorothy L. Sayers books that have been on my Wish List, and two books about books. A nice haul.
