Featuring more than two hundred full-color images of original catalog cards, first edition book covers, and photographs from the library’s magnificent archives, this collection is a visual celebration of the rarely seen treasures in one of the world’s most famous libraries and the brilliant catalog system that has kept it organized for hundreds of years. Packed with engaging facts on literary classics—from Ulysses to The Cat in the Hat to Shakespeare’s First Folio to The Catcher in the Rye—this is an ode to the enduring magic and importance of books. “The Card Catalog is many things: a lucid overview of the history of bibliographic practices, a paean to the Library of Congress, a memento of the cherished card catalogs of yore, and an illustrated collection of bookish trivia . . . . The illustrations are amazing: luscious reproductions of dozens of cards, lists, covers, title pages, and other images guaranteed to bring a wistful gleam to the book nerd’s eye.” —The Washington Post

Download or read book The Repurposed Library written by Lisa Occhipinti and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “How-to instructions on crafting with books . . . will inspire you to think about creative ways to make new treasures out of old things” (The Virginian-Pilot). We all love to read and learn from books, but The Repurposed Library takes our passion even further, presenting us with thirty-three projects to make—quite literally—out of books. For these projects, Lisa Occhipinti rescues and repurposes orphaned and outdated books from flea markets and library sales and turns them into new art objects and practical items for the home. Her creations range from artfully constructed mobiles, wreaths, and vases, to functional items like shelves, storage boxes, and even a Kindle “keeper” for those who want to replicate the sensation of holding a “real” book while reading from an e-reader. Projects utilize every imaginable part of a book—from hardback cover to individual pages—and are a DIY celebration of a new way to view a book’s potential. “Occhipinti’s ‘repurposed’ books are truly beautiful art objects, and whether or not you’re crafty enough to give them a try yourself, her book is thoroughly enjoyable.” —Fine Books and Collections “She shows readers how to transform books into mobiles, lamp shades, even clocks.” —National Post

Download or read book Book Marks an Artist s Card Catalog written by Barbara Page and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BOOK MARKS is an imaginative journey through artist Barbara Page's reading history, interwoven with memories prompted by the hundreds of titles depicted. At the heart of the book are over 430 artworks on repurposed library checkout cards, part of an ongoing art project housed in an antique two-drawer library case. Each richly illustrated "book mark" represents a title that has left an imprint on Page's life. Arranged chronologically in the order the books were read, the sections of plates correspond to the stages of her life undertaken in the individual chapters-child, young housewife, pilot, artist, widow, and traveler. The added layer of the author's personal history-sometimes whimsical, often fragmented-illuminates how the "mark" left by a book is anchored not only to its contents, but also to the memories associated with it, whether a hike guided by Alfred Wainright through England's Nannycatch Valley or a drive to Boston listening to Tuesdays with Morrie. A bibliophile's delight that will touch and inspire readers of any genre! Includes a complete bibliographic list of 434 titles-fiction, science, art, gardening, travel, history, biography, aviation, ecology, children's literature, and more-plus trivia on their publishing history; author and title indices for easy cross reference; and bound with two ribbon bookmarks, so readers can simultaneously mark their place in the plate section and corresponding page in the chapter.
