Ice cream maker, rare books curator, papercut artist, assumes that puns are funny automatically

First day of teaching my Rare Books class for the Catholic MLIS program! Haven't run a semester long course before but I'm excited to see how this thing goes. Lots of great guest speakers and a few field trips lined up to cover a lot of different parts od rare books work.

Feels like a lifetime ago, but very excited to see this in print!

Happy Halloween! Who wore it better? Catesby vs Curator

Page of Mark Catesby's "Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahamas" open to the "Blue fish" etching opposite a rare books curator wearing a low polygon blue fish mask with a 4 piece tail in different shades of blue and blue green wondering if anyone will also see he's supposed to be a Zora. He's even wearing a hoodie of the Zora armor from Breath of the Wild

Had a blast with this class. Always wonderful to have enthusiastic faculty and curious students to work with!

Barbenheimer pop up at new student orientation. Apparently Georgetown was one of about 20 schools to license their logo and colors in the 90s. Has been a big hit!

Hard to believe it’s already been a year at Georgetown! Was hard to find 1 or 2 images to illustrate the year but this completely ridiculous custom Sangorski binding on Percy Bysshe Shelley’s the Masque of Anarchy captures some of the vibe
