DescriptionsEdit Descriptions
- "From 1953 to 1983, Beta Phi Mu, an international "honor society" for librarians founded in 1948, published a series of chapbooks that were intended to provide exemplary examples of graphic artistry, typography, and book binding. Although many of the titles in this series were published in an edition of several thousand copies, it can be surprisingly difficult to put together a complete 15-volume set in Fine condition. (The plain glassine wrapper in which most of these titles were issued is usually either missing or pretty beat up.)...." -- L. D. Mitchell, Fine Books & Collections Blog, 19 Sept. 2010 (English, Unclassified)
