I know most ARLIS libraries have it, but f you've been putting off getting a copy of the hardcover edition of The Art of American Book Covers: 1875-1930 <http://www.amazon.com/dp/0807616028?tag=minskycom-20> (recipient of the 2011 Worldwide Books Award for Publications from ARLIS), I'd suggest getting it now from Worldwide Books, your local bookstore, or online <http://www.amazon.com/dp/0807616028?tag=minskycom-20>. The publisher, George Braziller, just informed me there are only 50 copies left in the warehouse and it will not be issued again in hardcover (this is the second printing). If you want to wait until next summer and pay a little less, a paperback <http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-American-Book-Covers/dp/0807616249?tag=minskycom-20> edition will be coming out. But it won't be in that beautiful gold-on-red-cloth binding that revives the technique of textured die stamping that was developed over a hundred years ago. Below are pix of both editions. -- Richard http://minsky.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
