1999 Bibliography Week schedule

[Grolier Club <grolier@panix.com>]

Dear All,

As of now, here's what's happening in New York during Bibliography Week,
January 26-30 1999. If I've left anything out, please let me (and your
fellow Exlibris subscribers) know.

Cheers,

Eric Holzenberg

*********************************

BIBLIOGRAPHY WEEK HAPPENS EACH YEAR at the end of January when the principal
national organizations devoted to book history have their annual meetings.
Other groups plan interesting events, too, since so many bibliophiles are in
town. You do not need to be a member of most of these organizations to
attend their annual meetings or events. Indeed, you are encouraged to show
up everywhere: get a sense of what is going on in the book world this year,
hear some interesting papers, schmooze over cocktails.

At the Rare Book and Manuscripts Library, Columbia University: The 5th
Annual Book Arts Lecture.  Roger L. Stoddard on "Looking at Marks in Books."
