NEW Black Press in the U.S. Research Guide: libguides.tulane.edu/black_press/ with detailed section on *Louisiana Black Press.* Many resources behind paywalls, so check your library's database lists. Not the only such resource out there, but we hope it's of use!

Putting together a blog post of new acquisitions and this Aleph-bet chart from Frankfurt c.1730 with lots of woodcuts (familiar from Sifre Minhagim!) and beautiful big type is just making me very happy.

Also, I've always loved the word melupum :)
Broadside featuring three woodcuts on top interspersed with Hebrew prayers, four woodcuts on the bottom, and a rectangle in the center with a floral border surrounding Hebrew types with the nikkudot (vocalization marks)

Would love to know what keeps more academics from organizing like this. It took the publisher being egregious and meddling with the editorial process—but trust, these publishers are being egregious in their pricing, and we normalize it. Why?

Hey, lunatics, want to get insufferably deep into collation, debates about bibliographical format, the difference between issue and state?

Join me for Descriptive Bibliography at @CalRBS this coming August.

Can the library explain why an error like this is happening? I’m super curious. It’s wild that all libraries are dealing with similar migration/discovery needs and yet the products available are so not great (or worse than not great)
