Really digging the typography on this book’s cover. That intertwining C and S!

German paste-paper appreciation post. All of these books were found in my library’s circulating stacks, by the way. I just went down the rows and pulled out the ones that caught my eye, photographed them, and released them back into the wild! 🙂

A card catalog with a modern flair to it, probably from the 1970′s or so.

The library’s conservation lab is ready for Halloween! PS that is a sample book from our commercial library bindery, not an actual library book! I would NEVER put tape on a library book! Not no how, not no way!

Spotted this cute cover with a dapper bicycle riding man on it. The red cloth of the spine has faded dramatically, but the cover was still a nice bright red, and the gold stamped decoration remains shiny. The book is “The Wheels of Chance” by H.G. Wells, and this edition was published in 1896.

Yes, I am that kind of person who visits the local library while on vacation. This is the bike rack outside of Syracuse’s petite Petit library in the Wescott neighborhood.
Awwwww, poor little book!
