Thread Name: Everyman exhibit at the University of North Carolina From: muldoone99 at yahoo.com (Clare Imholtz) Date: Wed Mar 5 13:47:40 2008 For those interested in both Modern Library and Everyman http://www.lib.unc.edu/spotlight/2008/everymans.html "The gilt floral spines and petite dimensions of the Everyman's Library series ring familiar to anyone who has frequented used bookstores or explored a dusty attic. A new exhibit at UNC's Wilson Library will examine the 102-year history of Everyman's Library, beginning with those first iconic volumes issued in 1906. Joseph Malaby Dent founded Everyman's Library in London with the goal of publishing 1,000 classic titles in beautiful and widely affordable editions. "The ABC of Collecting Everyman's Library: Archives, Books, Collections," on exhibit January 17 through March 31, 2008, will showcase 107 historic Everyman's titles, along with advertising, bookmarks and business records from the J.M. Dent & Sons archive in Wilson Library." Clare Imholtz ------------------------------------- From: goodbooks at webtv.net (JOSEPH HILL) Date: Wed Mar 5 22:28:32 2008 The price of a ML book was .95 cents (1920-1939)...Can anyone give me the price of a EL charged by Dutton for the same period? I do know about the color price codes for the later periods.... -------------------------------------
