Please visit the Rare Book Room to view our latest exhibit: Books and Their Covers: Decorative Bindings, Beautiful Books. Unlike most of our exhibits, this one focuses not on the intellectual content of the books in our collection, but rather on what they look like. One often thinks of law books in utilitarian terms, but this exhibit proves they can be objects of delight and desire as well.
To whet your appetite, here are a few highlights from the exhibit. A handout describing the entire exhibit is available here.
The exhibit will be on view through May 2010. We hope to see you in the Rare Book Room soon!
