In this day of e-books and digital downloads, organizations like the Hand Bookbinders of California maintain the tradition of beautifully hand bound, one-of-a-kind books. There is a small but select exhibit on the second floor of the library.
There are just two weeks are left to see these magnificent books
The 39th Members’ Exhibition of the Hand Bookbinders of California on the second floor of the Library is ending on December 16. This traveling exhibition offers Mechanics’ members a look into the world of hand bookbinding. Thirty-nine entries illustrate a wide range of one-of-a-kind exquisite bindings featuring luxurious leathers, good tooling, new oriental bindings, and many more unique structures.
