Caxton Club Publications -‐-‐ Chronological Checklist in The Caxton Club Publications -- Chronological Checklist In the course of its 125 years of existence the Caxton Club has published formal publications and other printed pieces. Following is a complete listing of the club’s publications. Note: Before 1995 Caxton Club lists distinguished between publications “offered for sale” and those “printed for gratuitous distribution to members.” This distinction was maintained in the bibliography to the centennial history by Frank J. Piehl, The Caxton Club, 1895–1995. Celebrating a Century of the Book in Chicago. In an effort to represent the real life-in-print of the club more comprehensively, the present list combines publications in both those categories in one chronological sequence and includes, as well, keepsakes printed by others specifically for distribution to members. “For-sale” publications found in Piehl’s history are indicated here with their FP Roman numeral; “gratuitous” publications are indicated with their FP number. Piehl’s entries provide extensive additional bibliophilic information. The following list does not include meeting invitations, promotional brochures, circular letters, bookmarks, and other small ephemera. 1895. The Book of the Caxton Club Officers, Committees, Articles of Incorporation, Constitution, By-laws, Members. (FP 1) 1895.

  • The Newberry Annual Report 2019–20
    The Newberry A nnua l Repor t 2019–20 30 Fall/Winter 2020 Letter from the Chair and the President Dear Friends and Supporters of the Newberry, The Newberry’s 133rd year began with sweeping changes in library leadership when Daniel Greene was appointed President and Librarian in August 2019. The year concluded in the midst of a global pandemic which mandated the closure of our building. As the Newberry staff adjusted to the abrupt change of working from home in mid-March, we quickly found innovative ways to continue engaging with our many audiences while making Chair of the Board of Trustees President and Librarian plans to safely reopen the building. The Newberry David C. Hilliard Daniel Greene responded both to the pandemic and to the civil unrest in Chicago and nationwide with creativity, energy, and dedication to advancing the library’s mission in a changed world. Our work at the Newberry relies on gathering people together to think deeply about the humanities. Our community—including readers, scholars, students, exhibition visitors, program attendees, volunteers, and donors—brings the library’s collection to life through research and collaboration. After in-person gatherings became impossible, we joined together in new ways, connecting with our community online. Our popular Adult Education Seminars, for example, offered a full array of classes over Zoom this summer, and our public programs also went online. In both cases, attendance skyrocketed, and we were able to significantly expand our geographic reach. With the Reading Rooms closed, library staff responded to more than 450 research questions over email while working from home.

  • An Exhibition of American Printers' and Special Presses Devices
    An Exhibition of American Printers’ and Special Presses Devices by Bronwyn Hannon, Hofstra University Axinn Library Special Collections The printers’ and special presses devices in this exhibition reflect certain times in the history of printing when concern for the integrity of book arts in the machine age is most acute. These presses devices can be seen as graphic stamps or markers indicating to the reader of a book that its types, layout, papers, illustrations and bindings have aspired to a higher level of excellence. The printers’ and presses devices featured here are among others in the collections held in Hofstra University Library Special Collections. Printers’ and Presses Devices ‐ A Definition Printers’ and special presses devices are small graphic logos, which operate in the same way as hallmarks in silver production, or china marks in porcelain production, or the signature marks of painters on their canvasses. Devices are usually found in the “colophon” at the end of printed books before 1500, and thereafter more frequently on the title‐page, which displayed other bibliographic details originally placed in the colophon. Colophons (from the Greek kolophon meaning “summit”) are essentially notes at the end of the book, often embellished with a printer’s device, and variously detailing title, author, printer, place of printing, date, edition and materials used. The words “device” and “mark” are used synonymously. American Printers’ and Presses Devices The prolific revival of the special presses movement in America followed closely from exemplar presses in Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century England. Often the design of printers’ and presses devices recalled eminent printers of the past.

    Young men have always wanted to rush into print A note on Denis Glover’s writings on typography Lindsay Rollo A miniature press intelligently employed in youthful hands has quite often led to the establishment of a printing office of exceptional quality John Ryder1 Anyone is likely to be surprised to find an enterprise engaged upon light-heartedly when young had now become the object of earnest academic enquiry Robert Harling2 INITIATION In 1926 two high school boys (both born in 1912) became enthused about typography. By 1938 they had each become influential in the movement in New Zealand for a ‗new typography‘. Denis (D J M) Glover and Bob (R W) Lowry met in 1926 in the fourth form at Auckland Grammar School and they were classmates in the succeeding year. Glover acknowledged Lowry as his mentor in typography, but the apparent influence of G T (Gerry) Lee has been understated. Glover records that at Grammar School Lowry discovered a master, Gerry Lee, with a handpress and a collection of old type faces. Fired with enthusiasm and possessed of an instinctive flair for bold and masterly use of type…3 Lowry wrote in 1928 to Glover (then at Christ‘s College in Christchurch):4 My remarkable activity has lead me to the founding of a Grammar School Printing Club: workshop;- small room containing one bottled snake above library: sole prospects so far are a faint hope of cadging Denis Glover on Typography Lindsay Rollo a grant from the Board of Govs. and the certainty of having G T Lee to assume command… This reference to Lee suggests that the master was well aware of Lowry‘s interest and activities and implies he took responsibility for supervision and/or guidance of any printing club activities.

  • The Time Traveler's Wife
    When Henry meets Clare, he is twenty-eight and she is twenty. He is a hip librarian; she is a beautiful art student. Henry has never met Clare before; Clare has known Henry since she was six... “A powerfully original love story. BOTTOM LINE: Amazing trip.” —PEOPLE “To those who say there are no new love stories, I heartily recommend The Time Traveler’s Wife, an enchanting novel, which is beautifully crafted and as dazzlingly imaginative as it is dizzyingly romantic.” —SCOTT TUROW AUDREY NIFFENEGGER’S innovative debut, The Time Traveler’s Wife, is the story, of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing. The Time Traveler’s Wife depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare’s marriage and their passionate love for each other, as the story unfolds from both points of view. Clare and Henry attempt to live normal lives, pursuing familiar goals— steady jobs, good friends, children of their own. All of this is threatened by something they can neither prevent nor control, making their story intensely moving and entirely unforgettable. THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE a novel by Audrey Niffenegger Clock time is our bank manager, tax collector, police inspector; this inner time is our wife.

  • Nostalgia and the Physical Book
    NOSTALGIA AND THE PHYSICAL BOOK Cheyenne White A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2021 Committee: Kristen Rudisill, Advisor Esther Clinton © 2021 Cheyenne White All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kristen Rudisill, Advisor We are used to seeing books, handling them, reading them, but we are not so used to analyzing our relationship to the form of the object, yet in this thesis, I argue that the very shape and composition of books has an impact on our interactions and relationships with them. By looking at the material book, we must confront the cultural, social, and individual significance that these material objects are imbued with. The physical attributes of books, from the smell of ink and paper to the distinct feel of a hefty hardback or flexible paperback, contribute specific things to culture and an individual’s experience as physical books carry commercial, aesthetic, and emotional value. By looking at material culture studies, memory and commemoration, as well as theory behind nostalgia, I argue that the physical book can be both a powerful object and carrier of social meaning by utilizing Grant McCracken’s notion of displaced meaning, academic studies of nostalgia, the science of book scent, bookshop curation, and book collecting, along with essay compilations by booklovers. From the affective power of the sensory aspects of books to book collecting and book spaces, the materiality of the book is revealed not as a mere vessel for texts but as essential to the physical book’s ability to anchor memory, emotion, and identity.

  • Out-Of-Print and Antiquarian Books: Guides for Reference Librarians
    Out-of-Print and Antiquarian Books: Guides for Reference Librarians By: Patrick J. Brunet and Lee Shiflett Brunet, Patrick J. and Lee Shiflett. "Out-of-Print and Antiquarian Books: Guides for Reference Librarians" RQ 32 (Fall 1992): 85-100. Response by J. Carlyle Parker and rejoinder by Lee Shiflett. RQ 32 (Summer 1993): 595-597. Made available courtesy of American Library Association: http://www.ala.org/cfapps/archive.cfm?path=rusa/rusq/86tuckett.html ***Note: Figures may be missing from this format of the document Abstract: The issue of evaluating old books is one that, on a functional level, has been removed from the provenance of librarians by Internal Revenue Service regulations. But the question in public, academic, and special libraries persists as does the assumption on the part of the general public that librarians know something about old books and the antiquarian book trade. This article reviews the issues involved and discusses the sources of pricing information most useful for general libraries in the United States and Canada. Article: The technical areas of acquisitions are unfamiliar ground to most reference librarians who usually do not venture into the territory beyond directing patron inquiries about price and availability of books to local bookstores or to Books in Print. If the book in question is still available from the publisher, this response is undoubtedly sufficient for the immediate needs of the patron. When a book is out of print and no longer available from the publisher, a question of a different order is created, a question that many librarians feel ill- prepared to attempt to answer.
