The Architecture of Books: Construction and Reconstruction

There is a new,”must see” exhibit in Clapp Library’s main floor Reading Room. “The Architecture of Books: Construction and Reconstruction” covers the materials, tools, and processes used to make and conserve books.

Here is a sample that is both beautiful and illuminating: “Book Building: Six Modern Cutaways” by Allie Thompson ’06.

Thanks to Katherine Ruffin and Emily Bell for their work on this project.
