#HistoryOfTheBook #Art Twitter, are there any good articles on the history of sketchbooks? @IconBook_Paper, anyone else?
If you teach or study #HistoryOfTheBook, I cannot recommend this enough. It’s really helping me think through the different functions—social, economic, legal, aesthetic, etc.—each part of a book performs. Looking forward to reports from my 15 students on 15 different parts!
What do you think? Good #HistoryOfTheBook class today? One of the great things about collecting is that you can take your own special collections anywhere, any time!
HUGE thanks to everyone who helped me ID some of the Louis Vuitton ad sources. It was so fun! You will be in my #HistoryOfTheBook lecture this week! @astamps21 @KirkDemarais @70sscifi @butcherjpn. And @BLClark @book_historia and @john_overholt whose tweets got me going...
