24 Works for the Booksellers' Showcase at this year's conference for the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). For the showcase we have chosen 24 items of scholarly significance, highlighting manuscripts, annotated or otherwise unique books, and outsider works of far-reaching influence.
Songs, the literary and the popular, the saintly and the more suggestive. From a fine antiphonal leaf from Bernard Rosenthal to a collection of bawdy ballads from Gershon Legman, via Sappho, Shakespeare, Lear and others.
With thoughts on childhoods past and present we present this list of children's books. Longer (and even more colorful!) than usual, it includes children's literature, picture books, and books to educate.
The selection features many items new to us or never before listed including two beautiful works by Grandville in the publisher's de luxe bindings, Aleister Crowley's Book of Thoth, and a fine livre d'artiste from the Allen Press. Also of note is a truly splendid first edition of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations.
An unlikely band of travelers, published between 1478 and 2020. On their pages, Aubrey Beardsley and Heidi appear in print for the first time, Claudia Cohen reintroduces the English speaking world to the man who cut types for Aldus Manutius, Nicholas Jenson shows us how to print, and obscene French songs are dutifully preserved for posterity. Come one, come all!
56 Works - A list in four parts - Antiquarian Bibliography, Scholarly Facsimiles, Books and Autograph Letters by Thomas Frognall Dibdin, and a selection of In-House Bibliography.
We are the home of the William Blake Gallery, the first gallery dedicated exclusively to Blake and the largest collection in the world of works by and about Blake available to collectors.
