Synopsis:
This catalogue of books, manuscripts, and works on paper was drawn from the international membership of the Grolier Club and accompanied an exhibition at the Club. Reflecting the breadth and quality of those members' varied collecting interests, the items encompass medieval manuscripts and early printed books, as well as contemporary literature; and rarities ranging from Old Master drawings and prints, to nineteenth- and twentieth-century posters, cartoons and ephemera to livres d'artiste, children's books, book objects, and photographs. These unique objects illuminate the remarkable range of subjects pursued by bibliophiles and provide proof that the collecting of books and prints in the age of the Internet is not only alive and well but thriving.
About the Author: Eric Holzenberg is the director of the Grolier Club, America's oldest and largest society for bibliophiles and enthusiasts in the graphic arts. He has written numerous articles, and lectured widely on topics in bibliography, bibliophily, and book history.
