United States Govt Printing Office

In a talk presented to the U. of Chicago Library Society in October 2001 and (in slightly different form) at the Library of Congress Rare Book Forum in April 2001, Schreyer pays tribute to book collectors and the role they've played in shaping research libraries across the US. Schreyer is well-versed in the topic; she is curator of special collections for the U. of Chicago Library. The brief essay is simply but nicely printed on heavy textured paper. Square format: 9x9

Published to accompany an exhibition by the same name, this volume contains a discussion of the different uses and types of books in the John Crerar Collection of Rare Books at the U. of Chicago Library and how these reflect 19th-century patterns of collecting in the areas of natural history and science. There is a checklist of the exhibition and a packet of six postcards, but no index. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
