Current Spotlight on the Collections: History of Books & Reading

The activity at Oberlin College surrounding book studies and book history in recent months – the many related courses, exciting lectures, and emerging curricular area – dovetails beautifully with a particularly strong Library collection of both historical and contemporary materials on the history of books

Don't miss this Spotlight, which features a sampling of historical “gems” relating to book studies, as well as many titles published in the last decade or two, when book studies started to see a sharp increase in scholarly publishing activity.
