I'm the head of research services at a well-known rare book & manuscript library in New England. I love decorated endpaper designs, and books, books, books!

@tommyhale91 Ha! Now you know. Kiss those dishpan hands goodbye.

[KT Lemon @ElizFrengel]

@PhilipPullman No problem, on either count!

@PersephoneBooks Getting ready myself to move house in Chicago, and I’ll be reading PB No. 47, Lettice Cooper’s The New House to celebrate. Splendid endpapers pick up the block printed velvet designed by Margaret Calkin James for her new house, Hornbeams. Thank you, PB!!

Thursdays are my Tove Jansson day. Love her!

[KT Lemon @ElizFrengel]

@UChicagoSCRC Any day is a good day for #ToveJansson!

[UChicago Special Collections Research Center @UChicagoSCRC]

It's Thursday. Who feels like a little #ToveJansson? This is her illustrated Stockholm edition of Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark. Enjoy!

@UChicagoSCRC Who can resist the Snowy Owl?

Have some end-of-the-week endpapers!✨ I love the brocade endpapers of this 1732 edition of the works of Virgil from @typepunchmatrix 🤩

Spotted at the Reg today. Some people build snowmen, others make snow ducks. #SnowStorm2021 #ducks ❄️☃️🦆

How about a little Tove Jansson-illustrated Alice to brighten our Thursday? This Swedish translation, by Ake Runnquist, was published in Stockholm in 1966. Marvelous color and b&w illustrations throughout. #AliceInWonderland #newacquisition
