Thanks, Ed Vermue!

alone in the library
Did you know that librarians get up to shenanigans when they are alone in the library? Well, they do. Thanks, Iris Jastram!
You can sit “outside” in the Cornell library this week!
Cornell University’s Olin Library has temporarily installed a patch of grass.
Best shenanigan ever? I think possibly yes.
Thanks, Dina Wood!
Two pop-up books from Debra Weier
Debra Weier, Charged
Book artist (and CC parent) Debra Weier visited Colorado College in the fall of 2012 to give a workshop on pop-ups. The library subsequently purchased her one-of-a-kind pop-up book Charged. When she mailed us that book, Weier sent us a bonus gift: another one-of-a-kind pop-up book, Fair Play.
Debra Weier, Fair Play
Thank you, Debra!
A looooooooooong Merwin poem
Our anonymous donor surprised us this month with a gift of the Ninja Press edition of W.S. Merwin’s The Real World of Manuel Córdova (1995). When stretched out, this accordion-style production measures fifteen feet long. Here’s the dealer’s description.
We look forward to sharing all fifteen feet with book arts and poetry students and other researchers in the coming years, perhaps alongside our similarly-stretchable two editions of Carlos Oquendo de Amat’s Five Meters of Poems (one from Ugly Duckling Presse and one from Turkey Press).
bookstore shenanigan
Somebody (probably not staff, but I’m not sure) turned around a whole bunch of books in the mystery section of a Barnes and Noble bookstore, making them particularly mysterious. I don’t know much about this image and would be glad to get the details. Thanks, PotaDOS and Sundress Publications!
