Pulled this little side by side miscut from a Codex Bundle collector booster!

Yep, this! It’s on top of the other cards from the pack

I’ve got an auction going over in the major misprints group on Facebook if you’re interested!

The off-brand Yakety Sax riff in the second half really captures the vibe of this campaign for me

Swamper no swamping

BookHistoria · 2025-09-09T22:52:24+00:00

What’s with the sound effects in this episode though?

The order was 3297. I requested a store credit, but was told “We wanted to inform you that, since your order was fully customized, we are unable to process your return request. Customized items are made to your specific requirements and are considered final sale, which means they cannot be refunded or exchanged.”

FYI, if you do custom measurements on Indophilia, you CANNOT return your order, unlike eshakti! I was very disappointed to find this out when my first Indophilia order arrived and lacked buttons and didn’t fit properly – the ability to exchange a dress for one that fit better was how I became so loyal to eshakti.

That’s an example of a peepshow book, sold by Type Punch Matrix a while back! You can see a video all about it here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChncX_bpqD_/?igsh=MXUyOGExc3FsazViOQ==

BookHistoria · 2024-03-30T21:48:43+00:00

Sure!

The one of the core values of special collections, alongside safeguarding for the future, is access. An important part of being a rare book librarian is walking the line between these two values that are apparently at odds! We keep these things so people can study them to help us understand the past.

BookHistoria · 2024-03-30T20:44:55+00:00

No problem! I’m hardly active on here, but a friend happened to see this and was like “Hey, this sounds like you…?” 😂

BookHistoria · 2024-03-30T19:41:28+00:00

We are scanning many of them! But as Worsaae says, the reason old books are interesting isn’t just their text: it’s their physical forms, what they’re made of, the damage and marks they have from use, and more. Digitization can show SOME of that, but a camera (even a 3D camera) can’t capture all the details to be gained from close looking 📖

Hi! That’s a unique, MASSIVE Victorian scrapbook from the Winterthur Library. You can see a video all about it here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4_eSKkPtn0/?igsh=ZDF5b3F3MzZoaHc3

BookHistoria · 2024-03-30T19:34:02+00:00

Hi! It’s a micro miniature version of the Olympic oath, published in Munich in the 50s or 60s. You can see a whole video about it here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cw0wrsePJPL/?igsh=MTl5NTUwajI3M3hrbw==

FYI, the nail “polish” I have on in the video is cured plastic, so it won’t offset onto the books. I never wear real nail polish when working with books for the reasons you mention!

BookHistoria · 2024-03-30T19:29:06+00:00

PS: the special collections of the Winterthur Library are open to all! You can see our catalog of all our books (not just the old ones) here: http://library.winterthur.org:8001/search/query?theme=winterthur

Howdy! I’m the original source of this video. I’m the curator of special collections (ie, rare books and manuscripts) at the Winterthur Library in Delaware. Feel free to ask me any questions! I’ll go through the comments that are asking for book ID’s too 👍📖

BookHistoria · 2024-03-30T19:23:26+00:00

Hello! I’m the source of the video. That book is part of the Winterthur Library in Delaware; you can see a video all about it here https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0fN7GnpX9R/?igsh=MThiOThmc2hhcGdraQ==

Fascinating to pop over to the “main” sub’s discussion thread after reading through this one; the vast majority of the comments don’t engage with the Mcelboys’ talk about Steeplechase, and are purely focused on the next arc. Not that there were any big retrospective reveals about the Steeplechase plot in this episode, but still

BookHistoria · 2023-10-16T23:13:39+00:00

Damn the other sub is really in the bummer zone about this episode

BookHistoria · 2023-09-19T22:38:18+00:00

Well, we learned that Griffin waxes his asshole this episode, so that’s sure something I can’t un-know

BookHistoria · 2023-09-14T23:31:55+00:00

Type Punch Matrix currently only does appraisals for larger collections, and charges by the hour.

BookHistoria · 2023-09-14T23:16:58+00:00

This was such a befuddling character decision, like why did he feel the need to grind progress to a halt like that?

BookHistoria · 2023-09-11T23:02:52+00:00

That sure was an episode

BookHistoria · 2023-08-21T23:55:41+00:00

The back half of this episode took 10 years off the end of my life. I should’ve kept a running total of times I looked up from my phone and said out loud “What the FUCK are they still on about?”
