SUMMARY:Andrew Pettegree: The Book at War
DESCRIPTION:The Caxton Club \nHow would you answer if someone were to ask you to tell them about when German language books were being tossed into bonfires? \nBefore you attend this program you might be inclined to provide one answer. After it\, you might also include another\, more surprising response. \nBooks live in the same world that people do and get caught up in the same conflicts – both as instruments and victims of warfare. From the burning of (parts of) the ancient library of Alexandria to the horror of modern industrialized battle\, books are often in the way – or are even helping to shape the way. \nAndrew Pettegree will reveal this fascinating history as he draws on his latest publication\, The Book at War (published in the U.S. in December 2023 by Basic Books\, a Hachette imprint). It is a story both timely and timeless. \nAlert Caxtonians will recall that our speaker has joined us before\, from the University of St Andrews (no relation) in Scotland. Much published\, he previously joined his co-author in speaking to us about The Library: A Fragile History. \nDon’t wait until your notice arrives. Volunteer to attend and register today! https://caxtonclub.org/event-5535425?CalendarViewType=1&SelectedDate=1/26/2024 \nZoom presentation is free and open to all. \nZoom begins at 12:00PM CT/1:00 PM ET. Preregistration required via website. \nPlease forward this notice to anyone who may find it of interest.

SUMMARY:Rebecca Rego Barry: "The Vanishing of Carolyn Wells" [mystery fiction and more]
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \nWhodunit\, you ask? Carolyn Wells—82 times between 1909 and 1942. Yet she is all but unknown today\, unless it’s for her bibliomystery classic\, Murder in the Bookshop (1936). In the early 20th century\, she was an immensely popular author\, excelling at country house and locked-room novels of detection and becoming one of the original grande dames of mystery. She also wrote in other genres—children’s\, young adult\, poetry\, humor—totaling 180+ books over her career. Some were adapted into silent films by Thomas Edison\, and some became bestsellers. \nThe writer Rebecca Rego Barry\, author of the new biography The Vanishing of Carolyn Wells (Post Hill Press)\, embarked on a full-scale investigation to find out who Wells was and how she had fallen so far off the literary map. Barry’s undertaking started with an enigmatic bookplate found in a first edition of Walden that belonged to Wells\, who was a serious book collector. The paper trail then led to Rahway\, New Jersey\, where she was born and is buried; to New York City’s Upper West Side\, where Wells spent her final 25 years; to the Library of Congress\, where her world-class collection of rare books now resides; and to many other public and private collections where exciting discoveries unfolded. \nRebecca Rego Barry lives in New York’s Hudson Valley. Her articles about books\, history\, and collecting have appeared in Literary Hub\, CrimeReads\, Smithsonian\, The Guardian\, Financial Times\, and elsewhere. Her first book\, Rare Books Uncovered: True Stories of Fascinating Finds in Unlikely Places (2015)\, developed from her longtime editorship of Fine Books & Collections magazine. She is currently the director of communications at The Raab Collection. \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-lecture-rebecca-rego-barry-on-the-vanishing-of-carolyn-wells-tickets-782331774397?aff=ebdsoporgprofile

SUMMARY:Who Owns This Sentence? Copyright Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:The Grolier Club \nCopyright today controls a vast range of created things\, from songs to software\, fancy dress costumes and semiconductor chip designs; it also provides a neverending income stream to the owners of the rights it creates\, who almost always turn out to be corporations. That’s obviously not what copyright was intended to do when it was invented in the 18th century in Acts for the Encouragement of Learning. David Bellos\, a Princeton University professor\, and coauthor of the new book Who Owns This Sentence? A History of Copyrights and Wrongs (W. W. Norton)\, will explain how a decision made in the British House of Lords 250 years ago established copyright by imposing strict limits on publishers’ rights—who have spent the last 50 years getting them all back. \nDavid Bellos\, Meredith Howland Pyne Professor of French and Comparative Literature at Princeton\, is a scholar of 19th- and 20th-century French and European literature. He is also a well-known translator from French and the author of major biographies of writers Georges Perec and Romain Gary and filmmaker Jacques Tati. He coauthored Who Owns This Sentence? with Alexandre Montagu. \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-lecture-who-owns-this-sentence-copyright-then-and-now-tickets-782331423347?aff=ebdsoporgprofile

SUMMARY:Selby Kiffer on the Bibliotheca Brookeriana: Renaissance Books and Bindings
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Caxton Club \nPlease join us at the Caxton Club’s January 24 evening Zoom program to celebrate Caxtonian T. Kimball Brooker’s extraordinary collection of Renaissance books and bindings. Currently up for auction at Sotheby’s in an unprecedented series of eight sales in New York\, London\, and Paris\, the collection embodies Mr. Brooker’s passion for and scholarly knowledge of Renaissance books\, their printers\, binders\, and provenance. Sotheby’s staff consider it one of the most significant and comprehensive rare book libraries to ever come to auction. Among its 1\,300 volumes are works printed by Aldus Manutius\, the Italian Renaissance scholar/printer who revolutionized printing in the early 16th century\, and volumes created for Jean Grolier\, “the Prince of Bibliophiles\,” François I of France and the German Imperial Counsellor and merchant Marcus Fugger. Of particular note are eight gilt bindings produced in Mexico in 1594. What Mr. Brooker has assembled is not merely rare and exceptional but also considered to be unique outside Europe. \nGuiding us through the “Bibliotheca Brookeriana” will be Sotheby’s senior vice president\, Selby Kiffer\, who has worked with Mr. Brooker to bring his collection to auction. Mr. Kiffer joined Sotheby’s in 1984 and has been involved in the sale of some of the most celebrated private libraries Sotheby’s has offered. He has also played a key role in the discovery and rediscovery of several bibliographic treasures\, among them three previously unrecorded copies of the Dunlap broadside of the Declaration of Independence and a lost fragment of the autograph manuscript of Abraham Lincoln’s 1858 speech\, “House Divided.” He is a frequent speaker to academic and bibliophilic groups and is a longstanding member of the board of directors of the Rare Book School at the University of Virginia. \nEven if you can’t attend at the scheduled time\, if you’re interested\, please register. After the program\, we’ll send an email to all registrants\, asking if you’d like a link to the complete recording. That way you can see the program even if you couldn’t attend live\, ran into technical issues\, or simply wanted to watch it again. \nRegister here: https://caxtonclub.org/event-5515726

SUMMARY:The Newly Discovered Notebook of Isaac Newton
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented and hosted by The Book Club of California\, The Bibliographical Society of America and the American Trust for the British Library \nJan 17\, 6:00pm Pacific Time \nThe newly discovered notebook of Isaac Newton\nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Scott Mandelbrote\, Fellow\, Director of Studies in History\, and Perne and Ward Librarian\, at Peterhouse\, University of Cambridge\, UK. He is also the editorial director of the Newton Project. \nZoom registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Iw7rvuiaTsihs8B1MwNTng \nThe Cambridge University Library recently purchased a previously unknown notebook kept by Isaac Newton’s chamber-fellow\, John Wickins\, in the years around 1680. It is possible to identify the contents of the notebook as being previously unknown compositions and correspondence of Isaac Newton\, which shed light on many aspects of his work and his engagement with the University in which he was employed. \nAs part of the preparation of an edition of the notebook\, the evidence that it provides for Newton’s reading habits has been extensively investigated and this talk will describe that evidence and the conclusions that can be drawn from it and from other sources to trace changes in Newton’s habits of study at a critical juncture in the development of his thought. \n

SUMMARY:Kate Ozment on The Hroswitha Club
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Caxton Club \nThe Hroswitha Club was a bibliographic society whose members were all women. \nWhy? \nWell\, it certainly couldn’t have been because when this women’s-only bibliographic society was formed during the 1940s\, women with a passion for books\, book collecting\, and book arts weren’t permitted to join organizations such as New York’s Grolier Club or a similarly situated Chicago society. (If men reading this feel so disposed\, they may insert a little downward gaze and some discreet embarrassed coughing here.) \nJoin Kate Ozment as she reveals the Hroswitha history\, tells about some if its remarkable members\, and discusses its impact on the world of book collecting and specialty publishing. \nDr. Ozment will be joining us from Cal Poly Pomona\, where she serves as an associate professor of English\, specializing in eighteen-century Anglophone literature\, book history\, digital humanities\, and gender studies. Because she earned her MA at the University of Chicago\, we’ll count on Kate to empathize with our winter weather and not contrast it with what she’ll be experiencing in Pomona. \nBonus! The first one hundred people to register won’t be asked to spell Hroswitha from memory as they sign up for this program\, so reserve your spot today! \nZoom presentation is free and open to all. \nJan. 12\, 2024. Zoom begins at 12:00PM CT/1:00 PM ET. Preregistration required via website. REGISTER HERE: https://caxtonclub.org/event-5535412 \nPlease forward this notice to anyone who may find it of interest.

SUMMARY:Russell Johnson on Five Centuries of Collecting Vesaliana
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Caxton Club \nWhen/Where: 12/15/2023 12:00 PM CT/1:00 PM ET Zoom presentation is free and open to all. Preregistration required via website. \nRegister here: https://caxtonclub.org/event-5494985 \nEVENT DETAILS: \nDecember Midday Program \nIf Cole Porter had been penning tunes during the sixteenth century he might have jumped on the Andreas Vesalius bandwagon to come up with a song titled “I’ll Draw What’s Under Your Skin.” \nVesalius’s anatomical masterwork De humani corporis fabrica (On the Fabric of the Human Body) was a medical sensation — and a boon to publisher/printers who were not in the least bit queasy about what its intricate plates revealed nor about pirating this seminal work. \nPublished at a time when physicians were still arguing about the best place to do their bloodletting\, De humani was a leap forward in anatomical understanding. \nYou’ll want to join us in the operating theatre as Russell Johnson\, Curator for History of Medicine and the Sciences at UCLA Special Collections peels back (so to speak) the story of this remarkable publication and introduces you to the John A. Benjamin collection. \nIt’s a tale of first editions\, superb printing\, collecting twists and turns\, booksellers’ correspondence and invoices\, an oil painting with a curious history\, and even a later volume with a provenance that may not be providential. You’ll also learn about how collecting Vesaliana continues today\, with unlikely prizes that range from comic books to postage stamps. \nDon’t wait for this session to fill or you may wind up registering in vein! \nZoom presentation is free and open to all. \nZoom begins at 12:00PM CT/1:00 PM ET. Preregistration required via website. \nPlease forward this notice to anyone who may find it of interest. \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: Mara Frazier on Capturing Dance on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \nFree and Open to the Public  Dec 12\, 6:00pm Eastern time \nRegister for Zoom link here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-lecture-mara-frazier-on-capturing-dance-on-paper-tickets-719361358187?aff=ebdsoporgprofile \nTranslating the evanescent art of dance into textual form presents a unique dilemma—how to capture a time-based\, corporeal art form into writing? Throughout history\, dance documentarians have devised intricate methods of notation and used varied material formats to represent movement practices\, whether ballet choreography or sports and physical therapy. Printing technology\, movement techniques\, and aesthetics all influenced physical formats for the description and transmission of movement information. This presentation\, by Mara Frazier\, Curator of Dance and Movement at the Lawrence and Lee Theatre Research Institute\, Thompson Library Special Collections\, The Ohio State University\, will delve into resources from the Institute’s rich holdings on dance. Highlights include the archives of New York City’s Dance Notation Bureau as well as papers of prominent dance notators\, choreographers\, and dance researchers. A selection including treatises\, handwritten notes\, sketches\, and manuscripts will exemplify types of materials texts that have historically been used to document dance\, highlighting nontraditional forms such as scrolls\, booklets\, and floor tiles made for readers in motion. Frazier will navigate the evolution and use of these items to offer insight on the form and function of documents of dance. Attendees can expect to gain a deeper appreciation of a variety of methods for dance description and transmission and for the challenges of dance preservation. \nThis is a live webcast.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: French Novelist's Return from History's Dustbin
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \nFree and Open to the Public on Zoom: Dec 7\, 6:00pm Eastern time \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-lecture-french-novelists-return-from-historys-dustbin-tickets-719361448457?aff=ebdsoporgprofile \nThe French 19th-century writer Fanny Reybaud has been relegated to the dustbin of literary history\, even in her homeland\, but not necessarily due to lack of talent. Her works included short stories\, poems and 30 novels\, which were translated into English\, Spanish\, and even Arabic during her lifetime. Her popularity rivaled that of her contemporary\, George Sand. Grolier member Barbara Basbanes Richter will lecture on detective work about Reybaud. The lecture pieces together the author’s successes and failures\, both personal and professional; other authors who exploited the lack of clear and consistent plagiarism laws in 19th-century France by claiming her work as their own; and hypotheses as to why Reybaud’s books faded from favor. This presentation will also explore Reybaud’s crowning literary achievement\, Mademoiselle de Malepeire\, recently translated into English by Barbara Basbanes Richter for the first time in over 160 years. Set on the eve of the French Revolution\, it is a story told through the voices of various men who know\, love\, and hate a misunderstood woman who reads forbidden books in secret and then acts upon her primal impulses. Readers\, however\, will recognize an author examining female identity and independence in a slim\, well-executed\, and highly readable volume. Barbara Basbanes Richter founded DIYBook\, an affordable and easy-to-use book writing program\, and In Ink Ghostwriting\, helping politicians\, pundits\, scientists\, CEOs\, professional athletes\, and others get their stories into print. Her work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal\, New York Daily News\, Fine Books & Collections\, and The Sewanee Review\, among other outlets. \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Tour and Curator Q&A: The Best-Read Army in the World
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \nVirtual Tour of “Best Read Army” followed by a live Q&A with curator Molly Guptill Manning via Zoom. \nDuring World War II\, one of the most important weapons U.S. troops wielded was the written word. At a time when propaganda and censorship choked free thought\, the U.S. military fought against these repressions by disseminating over one billion books\, magazines\, and newspapers to troops worldwide. “As popular as pin-up girls\,” these publications provided an escape from war\, information that would diffuse falsehoods\, and reminders of home. Reading was so prevalent among the troops that the New York Post declared that the United States had “the best-read army in the world.” \nOn display at the Grolier Club are the panoply of publications read by America’s foot soldiers during World War II. Small\, lightweight\, and ubiquitous\, these literary novelties include miniaturized versions of popular magazines and newspapers\, propaganda leaflets\, and the smallest mass-produced paperbacks in history\, the “Armed Services Editions.” With these books tucked in their pockets\, American soldiers invaded Europe bearing titles and authors that had been banned and burned by the Nazis. When Congress attempted to ban certain books from the military\, troops and the American public vehemently resisted\, and the law was swiftly amended. Words were weapons\, and the best way to fight repressions was to read. \nRegister for the Virtual Tour: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-tour-and-curator-qa-the-best-read-army-in-the-world-tickets-686572967227?aff=ebdsoporgprofile

SUMMARY:A Collection of Early English Books: Reading in the Age of Shakespeare
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Paul Chrzanowski\, book collector \nBook collector Paul Chrzanowski donated his collection of nearly 150 early English books to the UCLA William Andrews Clark Memorial Library. \nThe collection includes copies of the second and fourth folio editions of Shakespeare’s collected plays (1632 and 1685); plays extracted from the first and third folios; Robert Allott’s England’s Parnassus (1600) with Shakespeare excerpts; and a quarto play\, Parts 2 and 3 of Henry the Sixth (1619). \nThe presentation is not focused on these works. Rather it introduces books on wide-ranging topics that illustrate readers’ interests at the time—highlighting from the collection books of importance\, books of great rarity\, books with special provenance\, and oddities. This presentation explores “books that Shakespeare might have read.” \nZoom registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_I8svYdg-QQydxjhE_dCpGA

SUMMARY:Book Anatomy: The Body Politics of Indigenous Book History
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \n\n\nDr. Amy Gore\, assistant professor of English at North Dakota State University\, will discuss the connections between books\, bodies\, and Indigenous book history at the release of her latest monograph\, Book Anatomy: Body Politics and the Materiality of Indigenous Book History (University of Massachusetts Press\, 2023). From a book’s “spine” to its “appendix\,” bibliographers use a language of the body that reveals our intimate connection with books. Yet books do more than describe bodies—they embody a frontline of colonization in which Indigenous authors battle the public perception and reception of Indigenous peoples. Starting with John Rollin Ridge’s The Life and Adventures of Joaquín Murieta (1854) as the first novel published by a Native author and moving to other first entries of Indigenous literary production\, Amy Gore calls attention to the negotiations between books and bodies embedded within Indigenous literary history. Bringing Indigenous book history more firmly into conversations with mainstream narratives about the history of the book\, her research claims books themselves as a source of embodied power for early Native American authors. \nModerated by Erin McGuirl\, Executive Director\, Bibliographical Society of America

The facsimile limited edition Trevelyon Miscellany was printed and bound to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Folger Shakespeare Library. Of the edition of two thousand\, fifty were bound by hand in velvet at Praxis Bindery over the winter of 2006 – 2007. The project involved rethinking how one can bind an edition of books. New methods had to be developed to handle a large volume like this\, such as sewing a “case binding” on raised cords. Old methods for stamping on velvet had to be rediscovered. \nThis program will not be recorded. \nThe FABS Special Interest Group: Binding meets every third Monday of the month ~ \nTo receive a link contact Jennifer Larson at info@fabsocieties.org
