The first book you see on this shelf will be the one you read while stranded on an Island for a day! Which one is it? 👀📚 . Sister saw The Nature of Witches first and it would actually be a reread for her! 😂🙌 But it’s okay because she liked it. 🍂 . Meanwhile I’ll be reading Blood Heir and am not mad at all by this pick. Will just hang with Ana & Ransom! 🥺 . Side note: The island is magical and comes with a comfortable reading area & snacks so we look forward to just read, relax, and softly await rescue. 🥰📚🏝 . . #librariesofig #lovetoreadbooks #mybookcollection #bookshelfstyling #cozyaesthetic #darkacademic #ofwhimsicalmoments https://www.instagram.com/p/CSMz3wzLgfo/?utm_medium=tumblr

Get with the Times!

We’re font of great type design at Loyola Special Collections & Archives. For this week’s #TypographyTuesday we bring you an interesting 1927 publication of The New York Times Manual of Typographical Standards. This 3rd edition lays out regulations governing correct typography for the different classifications of advertising submitted to the newspaper, and includes a graphic illustration describing the rotogravure process.

Talking George Saunders and Shakespeare's Secrets With NYPL's Rare Book Librarian

BM: What is the weirdest/most memorable question you’ve gotten from a library patron?

MM: I’m lucky to work with collections that are rare or downright unique, and thus researchers with very specific, some might say ‘niche’ projects. Since I’m an avid crossword puzzler, I was very excited when David Kwong, a New York Times crossword constructor, wanted to take a look at our collection of material related to Riverbank Labs.

For context, an early 20th century Chicagoan named George Fabyan believed Sir Francis Bacon to be the author of Shakespeare’s works, and that Bacon had encoded proof of his authorship within the texts. Fabyan tasked the team at Riverbank with discovering a cipher system to decrypt these messages; two of his employees, Elizebeth and William Friedman, went on to legendary careers in cryptanalysis. We have Riverbank’s original letters, deciphering notes, student exercises, and the like, providing an intimate glimpse into their daily work. David was so taken with the collection and the story it represented that it informed his show The Enigmatist. (And he kindly agreed to this shout-out!)
