Formerly Rare or under done. Wednesday, November 19, 2008. In Handle this Book! The New York Times describes the presentation of rare books and manuscripts to History undergraduates. There's nothing like the smell of old books, the sound as you flick through the pages of a book made from cloth paper or reading the scribbled notes and signatures of previous owners! This is the untidy scrawl of a previous owner of the 1640 edition of Parkinson's Herbal. Remember well and bear in mind. Reminds us of how imp...

Rare diversions: April 2009
http://rareorunderdone.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Formerly Rare or under done. Sunday, April 19, 2009. The Boston Public Library has launched a new online exhibition. On the Edge - The Hidden Art of Fore-Edge Painting. Fore-edge painting is where an image is painted on the fore-edge of the book. When the edges are fanned the image appears. When the book is closed the image disappears. Unless we fan the item, would we know? Would the catalogue card be annotated? We certainly haven't digitised images from any of our fore-edge paintings! The Fine Books Blog.
