#antiquarianbooks — Public Fediverse posts

We went to the Antiquarian book event at St. Paul today. Found myself a larger version of the Leavitt "History of Leeds-Grenville" The hard copy reproduction I did have was way too small to properly read esp. the maps and photos. The original was still larger but this is much better! Bonus, none of the reproduced notes someone had made on the original before reproduction!

There‘s a bunch of book thieves going around prestigious #libraries and swapping #Pushkin #FirstEditions for (so the library officials say) high quality facsimiles. The @stabi_berlin
has been targeted , also national libraries in Poland and the Baltic states.
It’s a wild story, and the forgers’ skills seem to be very remarkable.

Currently reading, "A Walking Tour Round Ireland in 1865" by WW Barry.

Quite enjoyable. Could see it leading to a visit there myself some day with a few walks involved.

Writing an essay and wondering if anybody out there in the world of #library #librarian #archives #specialcollections #bookdealer #bookcollector #bookcollection #rarebooks #antiquarianbooks #printculture #bookstodon would know of any examples of rare books (for example) damaged by children coloring in them in say, the 19th century. I'm confident there are some out there, just can't figure out how to search for it.

#introduction - I’m Doug. A rare bookseller of forgotten, lost, and obscure very long 19th century British and some American works, gothic, chapbooks, street literature. Not a scholar but love history of the book trade. I’m also (still) a lawyer during the day. Like surfing, fishing, and chasing my 3 year old around. @antiquarian on Musk’s hellscape.
