Tuesday’s class was a great example of historic and rare books. I really enjoyed seeing the books in person and learning their individual backgrounds. Since we have been reading about it outside of class, it was great to actually get to see examples of what we are reading. Also, I really enjoyed learning that each book ever printed really does have its own specific background. Each of the books we learned about was so unique that I could not stop and think about how and where all these books been. I almost wish I could track down all of the locations and people who owned all these great and rare books.
It is crazy to think about the history of each book. I think each one possesses character and that is what makes them so unbelievable. Nothing compares to seeing them in person where the uniqueness of each one really jumps out at you.
