I watched the auction- from the sidelines, sadly!- with great interest. I'm glad you were able to obtain the Flamsteed!

In a week filled with unpleasantness and uncertainty it was a bright moment when we received a copy of this book at our library. It is a thing of beauty, one of 50 copies printed. Melville’s Billy Budd, illustrations by the great Barry Moser.

My freshly arrived copy of @rebeccaromney.com new book, atop an exhibit case for our “Jane Austen’s Library” exhibit. We look forward to Rebecca’s visit to speak at our library on April 22nd!

Our library’s Cistercian psalter is a treat. I’m unsure what these leaves are doing. I think I see Saint names but what are the hash marks that fill the lines? Thank you to my medievalist friends! @lisafdavis.bsky.social @erikkwakkel.bsky.social @ejjohnson.bsky.social

Looking over the eye-watering prices realized in the Christie’s auction of Owen Gingerich’s library. Wow. I thought the estimates were low on many of them!

I’d love to have a copy of your chapter, which looks fantastic!

I am WAY fortunate to have decades worth of office files for our library’s Special Collections. While looking for something else, I ran across this postcard sent to my predecessor in 1959 from Frederick Goff!
