Winter storms are on their way across the Midwest, so make sure you're as stocked up with reading material as Louis Bosch, Curé of Tamise! He's shown here with his library in his very own custom-engraved bookplate from around 1750. It's affixed to the copy of Pius II's Epistolae familiares that is now part of our incunable collection.
Stay warm and safe!

Publishers’ Binding Thursday
This week’s Publishers’ Binding Thursday book is exceedingly silly! It’s titled Cinderella’s Garden and was written by W. Macneile Dixon with illustrations by George Morrow. It was published in 1927 by Oxford University Press and Humphrey Milford and is part of our Historical Curriculum Collection.
Inside are some silly tales about what happens when three boys and their cousin Nancy end up in Cinderella’s garden with fairies and Shakespeare (and Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet) and a poetry-spouting fellow named Slip-Slop. It’s important to know that ill-natured fairies hate pentagrams but simply laugh at hexagrams, and that some people are only happy at a committee meeting so one must be a part of every party. And yes, that is a flying crab on the cover of the book!
The book also has a sweet ex libris for a girl named Betty that features a child reading a book surrounded by fairies. It’s a lovely representation of the imagination and wonder that can come out of books!

Journey into the unknown with 'Living on the Edge' Ex-Libris Bookplates, finely crafted on traditional gummed paper. These bookplates feature a daring knight on horseback, poised at the very precipice of an adventure.
Sydney Hunt, the visionary gay artist, brought this design to life in 1921. With its rich history and bold portrayal of a knight's fearless spirit, 'Living on the Edge' resonates with those who embrace life's challenges.

"Mini-zines are quick, fun projects. I like the constraint of working within eight pages. I definitely won't start this one and leave it sitting on my desk for nine months."
