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 (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. 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 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.
