Acknowledgements

We want to extend our sincere thanks to Donald A. and Laura E. Shindler, who generously sponsored this exhibition and catalog. This exhibition only exists because of the many colleagues who assisted with the photography, exhibit design, graphic design, editing, and installation of the exhibition, and Curatorial Fellow Tori Forster, without whom this exhibition would have been several months late. Last, but not least, we are deeply indebted to the donors who built the Rare Book Collections—particularly William K. Bixby, Julian I. Edison, and George M. Meissner—who by doing so, provided the opportunity to share these beautiful books.
