The exhibition, American
Decorated Publishers' Bindings 1872-1929, is still up in the gallery in
Husdon, NY if you'd like to see it. It has changed quite a bit since it
first opened, with over 100 new acquisitions. If you haven't seen the online
exhibition, it's at
http://minsky.com/gallery.htm
An early (incomplete) version
of the checklist is also online at
http://minsky.com/pub-dec-other.htm
with instructions on how
to subscribe to the forthcoming catalog (2006), which is being issued in
three versions, with pre-publication subscription discounts. Subscribers
have access to the complete updated checklist, which now has over 200 images
on it, and to the in-progress drafts of the catalog essays.
Subscribers were also notified
of the eBay listings three days ago, when they first were posted. Only
three of the books with "Buy it Now" option remain as of this writing,
but there are others with regular auctions only that still have four days
to go. Of particular interest are a gorgeous Decorative Designers
cover for Lewis Morris, The Epic of Hades:

and Edmund Gosse, In Russet
and Silver (1895) with Will Bradley's important cover design, on a
copy with uncut foredge folds..
