An image that inspires joy (and sometimes jealousy) are these bindery tools. We make any excuse to see what conservation is up to, and learning about the tools they use is no exception. The well-loved book is their forte, and well we love books.

Another thing I love about our books: the idiosyncratic annotations made by centuries of readers. Someone apparently found these 16th century gymnasts quite indecent. #joyofGLAM GV213 .M55 1577 . . . #gymnastics #sports #censorship #freespeech #bannedbooks #marginalia #bibliophile #bookstagram #booklover #rarebooks #specialcollections #librariesofinstagram #iglibraries #mizzou #universityofmissouri #ellislibrary #ifttt
What brings us joy in the archives? This Pirelli poster from 1963 by Massimo Vignelli!
The pink version is in numerous museums and archives, but, sadly, we don’t have that version in the archives (featured here is a scan of a vintage 4x5 color copy transparency). But we do have that gorgeous yellow version in the archives! Don’t you just want to run outside and take a summer bike ride?
We can’t resist joining the fun of the #joyofGLAM. On instagram @rarebkcat and @rutgers_scua [Rutgers University Special Collections and University Archives] are challenging Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAMs) and fans of GLAMS to share something that brings them joy every Wednesday in July!

We’re joining @rutgers_scua and @rarebkcat for the July #JoyofGLAM challenge! We will be posting joy-inspiring images from our collection each Wednesday for the rest of the month.
To kick things off we’re sharing this video of a small portion of a recently acquired collection of publishers’ bindings featuring printed pattern book cloth. If you’ve been following us for awhile then you know that we love publishers’ bindings here at the Library Company, and seeing this new collection in the stacks every day always makes us smile.
This week we highlight the joy of finding the unexpected and the joy of naming our collections in the most literal way.
Ephemera reveals something about regular people in their historical context, what they wanted to remember, and how they interacted with the visual culture of their daily lives. When we process material and find a photograph or note tucked in between pages of a book, that item could be secret token in a hiding place, or it could be as utilitarian as a bookmark. Either way these are clues of history that many can relate to now. Have you ever hidden something in a book?
