Trying to sell my treasured copy of the rare Derren’s Brown book, Absolute Magic. I had it signed by Derren, in person, because I knew he wouldn’t like me having that older book. I then took it to Penn and Teller and got them to sign it, because I thought it would be funny.

Derren’s didn’t like me having the book, andPenn and Teller did not think it was funny, but they signed it like good sports, all the same.

Pleas boost to see if there are any fellow travellers out there in need of rare knowledge.

The best part of my job in the #SpecialCollections is the rabbit holes I fall into. While looking through our #RareBook collection, I found a #Book on #Texas #WildFlowers by Ellen D. Schultz who was the director of the #WitteMuseum in #SanAntonio. And despite all if her accomplishments her publishers, the Laidlaw Brothers of #Chicago, only watered Ellen down to just her husband's wife.

Got an awesome new addition to my collection yesterday! A pristine of "Elantris", with the original publisher introduction letter tucked inside!

An Advanced Reading Copy of "Elantris" by Brandon Sanderson. To its right is a letter from the book's editor, introducing the book (and Brandon) to book sellers.

The book doesn’t have anything on it that would indicate it being from a library or school so my best guess right now is that it was sold via mail order

So, at the Fair in today, I spotted something that can help us through the decline in other investments. Maybe a side hustle.

A pamphlet on the table at an event, the title is "Wealth In Mice", with some early 20th century looking border graphics and a stars-and-stripes shield. The source says "Laboratory Supply Company" of Philadelphia.

The crude but hilarious and charming woodcuts in this spelling book are by English artist Joseph Crawhall II.

This little gem from 1884 (first edition) is a great example of the chap book revival led by Crawhall and The Leadenhall Press.

I love the silliness and artistic freedom of this.

The porcupine from Antonio Tempesta's "Nova Raccolta de li Animali piu curiosi del Mondo" (Rome, 1650) has a five- o'clock shadow and really sums up the ✨ vibe ✨ this week :dumpster_fire:
