They are just a few of the fascinating objects found in the world-famous Lilly Library, located on the campus of Indiana University Bloomington. In this beautifully illustrated A-to-Z volume, Darlene J. Sadlier journeys through the librarys wide-ranging collections to highlight dozens of intriguing items and the archives of which they are a part. Read about life and death masks of John Keats, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Dreiser; Walt Whitmans last pencil; and vintage board games, mechanical puzzles, and even comic books. Among the more peculiar items are a pair of elk teeth and an eerily realistic wall-mount bust of Boris Karloff. Sadlier writes engagingly about the Lilly Librarys major historical collections, which include Civil War diaries and a panopticon of the war called the Myriopticon; War of 1812 payment receipts to spies; and the World War II letters and V-mail of journalist Ernie Pyle. This copiously illustrated, entertaining, and educational book will inspire you to take your own journey and discover for yourself the wonders of the Lilly Library.</p>...3773776The Lilly Library from A to Z206251https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-lilly-library-from-a-to-z-9780253042699/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3226583/a1853ac4-04e7-45c3-bbee-f7269c45de41.jpg?v=638770249265700000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20199780253042699_W3siaWQiOiJhMGIwNjQ1Ni1jNTdiLTRiN2MtYjAyZS0zOGMwZGIxNGI2YTIiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI1MSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjQ1LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIwNiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMTZUMjA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780253042699_<p><strong>A beautifully illustrated look inside of Indiana University Bloomingtons renowned library of rare books, manuscripts, and related oddities.</strong></p><p>What do locks of Edgar Allan Poes hair, Sylvia Plaths attractive handmade paper dolls, John Fords Oscars, and Ian Flemings James Bond 007 cigars have in common?
