Daniel BellingradtA man of words made out of words. This printed carmen figuratum, in German Figurengedicht, shows Martin Luther as a figure made out of words.

Daniel BellingradtSay hi. This is an example of how human labor will be remembered when all books are digitized and we all work with digital copies only.

Real Syntacticexcellent question from excellent student: why was the first published edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) bound in red cloth? I knew why (and how) it was bound in cloth, and pointed the student to resources on gold stamping versus later more elaborate multicolour stamping/embossing, and between stamping and printed paper over cardstock. And on the absence of dust jacket. We found early reviews with info on pricing, buyers, and implied readers. But: why red? <a href="https://c18.masto.host/tags/bookhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookhistory</a>

JumblePublishingThe first known bound books occurred in India in the first century BCE. These books were made of palm leaves stitched together.

Scrolls, created of one long roll of paper wound around a central core, preceded the development of books.

Vivienne DunstanDoing some research, and amused by the story of the handwritten card placed above the fireplace in Alyth Reading Room in 1858, telling people about an upcoming meeting there to discuss maybe founding a public library. Unusually for me who doesn’t easily visualise things, I now have a clear mental image of a cosy fireplace, with seats beside it, and an enigmatic handwritten card resting above. They got their library in the end. <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/BookHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BookHistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ScottishHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScottishHistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Perthshire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Perthshire</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Scotland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Scotland</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Libraries</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Alyth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Alyth</a>
