Everyman Notes & News
22 April 2010. The Other Bindings section has been revised with an image of
Terry Seymour's collection of Taylor/Burton bindings, and in the Other Early Jackets section we
now have examples of the 1925 Stevenson jackets.
17 April 2010. In the Spring 2010 issue of Fine Books and Collections, our website has been listed as one of
"the best and most comprehensive online exhibits about books and manuscripts." Because of their list's emphasis on institutional
public exhibits past and present, FB&C links to us through our account of the 2008 ABC of Collecting Everyman's Library exhibit at the University of North Carolina Wilson Library. Browsing the FB&C
Biblio 360 Online Exhibits list is a treat, and surfing the rest of their website will delight any bibliophile. While you're at it, sign up for their free monthly newsletter. We follow it regularly.

Everyman Remembers
Good titles like good lyrics drop from heaven. The finding of one, arresting and explicit, was the grand crux.
We must have made up a score of possible names for the new series ... but not one of them quite satisfied us.
Then one day, walking along Garrick Street past the doors of the Garrick Club, not thinking of anything in particular,
I suddenly remembered the lines of the old mystery play: "Everyman, I will go with thee and be thy guide, In thy most need
to go by thy side"—that gave me the cue, and sent me marching into the office where the old chief sat.
"Eureka!" I said. "I have found the title— Everyman's Library." He stared for a moment incredulously, then said,
"Why, yes, you have got it!"
—Ernest Rhys
