Date Posted: 7 December 2011 Great news! Terry Seymour's new book, A Printing History of Everyman's Library 1906-1982, is now available from AuthorHouse. While his Guide (2005) remains useful for the background information not repeated in this newer work, A Printing History provides completely revised and expanded entries for each volume in EML. Every serious collector requires a copy of this essential reference.

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 on their
Biblio 360 Online Exhibits page through our
account of the 2008 "ABC of Collecting Everyman's Library" exhibit at the University of North Carolina Wilson Library.

We have added several new things to the site. The Other Bindings section now has an image of an experimental suede binding as well as a rebound volume from the Taylor/Burton collection. Under Other Early Jackets, we have added images of the "dandelion" reference jacket and an unusual experimental jacket design. There is also a new Library Dust Jackets section, and in Special Dust Jackets there is a rare cover for the 1942 edition of the Everyman's English Dictionary.
Finally, we have added the text of Robert Lynd's 1946 obituary tribute to Ernest Rhys.

Called an "eye-opening exhibit" by The News & Observer, "The ABC of Collecting Everyman's Library"
at the Wilson Library of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was an outstanding success. The exhibit opened on 17 January 2008 with a lecture by Terry Seymour, independent scholar, collector, and author of
The Guide to Collecting Everyman's Library. Originally slated to end on 31 March, the exhibit was so
popular among scholars, collectors, students, and the local community that it was extended an additional two weeks, and came to a reluctant close on 12 April. For those of us who were able to travel to Chapel Hill to view the exhibition, it was an extraordinary and delightful experience, made especially pleasant by the friendliness and enthusiasm of Dr. Elizabeth Chenault and her Rare Book Collection staff. For those of you who could not make the trip, we have created a special Everyman's Library Exhibit page containing related images, links, and the text of Terry Seymour's lecture.
