This exhibit is curated by the students and faculty of English 492: From Manuscript to E-Book. During the fall semester (2007), we explored the methods employed in the growing interdisciplinary field of Book History for understanding the creation, marketing, reception, and preservation of texts. While people often think of rare books in terms of monetary valuethat is, how much a book might have cost to acquirewe came to discover that there are deeper and more complex ways of understanding how much a text is worth.

We've designed this exhibit to help communicate what we've learned to you.
