This is the inside of the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale U. in New Haven, Ct. A beautiful and massive monument to the written word, with material from every nation (even many that no longer exist) going back a thousand years.

Good Morning!
Discovered that the cover of my ancient volume of Lord of the Rings - the green one with Gandalf on the cover - is starting to peel. Wish I could replace it 🧙

Might be taking a bookbinding / restoration course. It's been a long time since I attended that 1-day bookfair session :b

Practice book:
1955 Yearbook of Agriculture

I love the cover art, the paper is wowzers, and the preface is almost lyrical.

A @antiquaries.bsky.social display of early-printed books on witchcraft, death & the occult just wasn't enough for #halloween, so I also dressed up as an early-printed book. 💀
