SUMMARY:Houdini's Library
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \nOverview\n\n\n\n\nwith Dr. Eric Colleary \n\n\n\n\nWhen Harry Houdini died on Halloween 1926\, he left behind one of the greatest private libraries of magic\, spiritualism\, and theatre history including hundreds of thousands of books\, prints\, photographs\, playbills\, and ephemera accumulated over three decades of compulsive\, competitive collecting across multiple continents. Grolier member Dr. Eric Colleary\, Cline Curator of Performing Arts at the Harry Ransom Center\, will draw on his new book Houdini’s Library (Abbeville Press\, 2026) to explore Houdini’s other life as a bibliophile: the antiquarian bookshops\, the extra-illustrated volumes\, the librarian he installed in his attic\, and the dramatic posthumous dispersal of the collection. Colleary’s talk marks the centenary of Houdini’s death and accompanies both the publication of the book (which will be for sale and signing at the talk) and the run of Houdini’s Library\, a Ransom Center exhibition running August 29\, 2026 to January 24\, 2027. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-lecture-houdinis-library-tickets-1993630922757?aff=ebdsoporgprofile \nIf you are a Grolier Club member\, please register yourself and your guests via the Club website.

SUMMARY:Martha Driver: Caxton's Translations
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by FABS \nNov 9 FABS Handpress Era Group: Martha Driver “Caxton in Draft.” Martha will speak about William Caxton’s translations\, which are often said to be unoriginal and very close to his exemplars. In the case of three of his translations from the classics (Cato\, Aesop\, Ovid) this is not precisely the case. Instead\, Caxton is a creative adaptor and comic interpreter\, serving the interests of his perceived audience. To receive a link contact Jennifer Larson at info@fabsocieties.org. \n
