Description: This exhibition invites you to do what you’ve always been told not to—judge a book by its cover. Drawn from our Rare Book Collection, the exhibition presents covers that demonstrate how master bookbinders transformed leather, vellum, and fabric into art. Through gold gilding, hand-tooled designs, and linocut illustrations, these covers reveal how artisans balanced preservation with presentation. Some offer carefully chosen previews of content, while others employ pure aesthetics to draw readers in. We invite you to study, admire, and yes, judge each one.
