Well, BibliOdyssey has gone crazy-nuts on the gorgeous bookbindings today! I see many of the images floating around the blogosphere already, so I won’t rehash them all here, but rather leave the link for those of you who wish to see them yourselves. I will, however, post just one that I found fascinating, because it’s a medium you rarely see in bookbinding:

Greetings,
I just saw that you posted an item about our new exhibit, “Reused, Rebound, Recovered: Medieval Manuscript Fragments in Law Book Bindings,” and an image from an earlier posting on the Yale Law Library Rare Books Blog.
Thank you!
In my last posting on the exhibit, the acknowledgments, I’m providing links to Book-Aesthete and all the other blogs who have been kind enough to help spread the word. I’ll also start following Book-Aesthete; great stuff there.
Best wishes,

*grins* I encourage all of you who liked my original post about this to follow the blog. There is some great history there. I’ll be posting an update soon.
