I used the first editions (Poetry Magazine, 1914 & Collected Vol., 1916) of 'Chicago' in a Newberry class yesterday:

FYI:

Out of the Newberry's ~22k French pamphlets, 530 are on the imprisonment, trial and execution of Louis XVI (published between August 10, 1792 and Jan. 21, 1793).

I'm deeply bummed to miss my RSA book history panel today, but this new addition (edition?) arrived weeks ahead of schedule.

These last weeks were exhausting on every level, but I'm so grateful to have been slightly distracted by a fantastic research trip to England, supported by the Bibliographical Society of America.
If you need a break from doomscrolling, check out these silly 16/17c. MS images that kept my spirits up.
