Book Description
Excerpt from The University of Pennsylvania Library Chronicle, 1936, Vol. 4 The Friends of the Library have now entered upon their fourth year as an organization designed to stimulate interest in the Library of the University and to enrich its collections by gifts of money and of books. The first three years have abundantly shown the value of such an organization, and the Library has profited greatly from the generosity of the mem bers. Contributions in money have made possible the pur chase of many books which Otherwise could not have been bought, and many valuable books have been given. We are grateful for all this assistance, and for the increased interest in the Library's service. Annual membership in the Friends of the Library is Open to everyone who gives to the Library five dollars or more in money, or books, suitable for a University Library, of not less than five dollars in value. Members receive invitations to the meetings, held once or twice a year, at which addresses are given by distinguished speakers, and receive also this quarterly publication, the Library Chronicle. A helpful act of friendship would be for every member of the organization to secure one more Friend of the Library. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Book Description
Questions of survival and loss bedevil the study of early printed books. Many early publications are not particularly rare, but many have disappeared altogether. Here leading specialists in the field explore different strategies for recovering this lost world of print.

Book Description
In most college and university libraries, materials published before 1800 have been moved into special collections, while the post-1923 books remain in general circulation. But books published between these dates are vulnerable to deaccessioning, as libraries increasingly reconfigure access to public-domain texts via digital repositories such as Google Books. Even libraries with strong commitments to their print collections are clearing out the duplicates, assuming that circulating copies of any given nineteenth-century edition are essentially identical to one another. When you look closely, however, you see that they are not. Many nineteenth-century books were donated by alumni or their families decades ago, and many of them bear traces left behind by the people who first owned and used them. In Book Traces, Andrew M. Stauffer adopts what he calls "guided serendipity" as a tactic in pursuit of two goals: first, to read nineteenth-century poetry through the clues and objects earlier readers left in their books and, second, to defend the value of keeping the physical volumes on the shelves. Finding in such books of poetry the inscriptions, annotations, and insertions made by their original owners, and using them as exemplary case studies, Stauffer shows how the physical, historical book enables a modern reader to encounter poetry through the eyes of someone for whom it was personal.
