A propos de cet article

4to. Glossy pictorial paper over boards, pictorial dust jacket. xiv, 170pp. Extensive illustrations (most color), map. Fine/fine. Pristine first edition. Henry Winkler (yes, the actor) introduces this survey of dozens of public libraries, large and small, from coast to coast and north of the border. This unusual cop[y is extra-illustrated, bearing three Typed Notes Signed of 1930s vintage from three notable librarians from institutions profiled in this book, each tipped in at the two-page spread for each library. Alongside the entry for Boston Public Library is a Typed Note Signed from Milton Edward Lord, 1p, 8½" X 11", Boston, MA, 20 October 1933. Addressed to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Very good. On "The Public Library of the City of Boston" letterhead, Lord writes, "I wish to extend to you on behalf of the Trustees of the Public Library of the City of Boston their thanks for your courteous gift as noted below." Nicely signed. Lord (1898-1985) was president of the American Library Association (1949-50) and from 1932-65 served as director of the Boston Public Library. Alongside the entry for the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh is a Typed Note Signed from Ellwood H. McClelland, 1p, 8½" X 11", Pittsburgh, PA, 2 April 1931. Very good. Addressed to Mary B. Day, librarian of the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. On "Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh" letterhead, McClelland tells Day "We are glad to send you herewith a copy of our 'Review of Iron and Steel Literature for 1930.'" Boldly signed. Lastly, alongside the entry for the Denver Public Library is a Typed Note Signed from Malcolm G. Wyer, 1p, 6" X 9½", Denver, CO, 11 November 1937. Addressed to Carl B. Roden, librarian of the Chicago Public Library. Near fine. On "The Public Library" letterhead, Wyer informs Roden that "Miss Adelaide Bennett, Chief of our Schools Department, is spending part of her vacation in Chicago. She would appreciate very much the opportunity of observing some of your work with the schools." Boldly signed. Wyer (1877-1965) penned several books about bookplates, served as president of the American Library Association (1936-37) and as long-time librarian of the Denver Public Library. All told an intriguing copy, with original letters from a trio of movers and shakers in the world of library science.…
