The Remnant Trust Annual Lecture
How to Judge a Book by Its Cover; or, Why Studying Physical Books is Important

The way a book looks is the result of many decisions made by many people, including publishers, printers, binders, and designers. And the way a book looks subtly affects how we respond as we read it. By studying the material qualities of a book, we can learn a great deal about how that book was valued and marketed as well as about how it was handled and read.

The lecture is free and open to the public. A reception and exhibit of the books discussed in the lecture will follow.
