The women who ban together to fight against the status quo and take charge of their destiny is what most are even lucky to strive in real life but Jenner provides readers an inspirational story that makes it relatable and captivating. Once again, the characters come alive and you won’t forget them once you are introduced to them!

L. C. P.’s Book about Book Shops
Powell, Lawrence Clark, Bela Blau; William M Cheney (William Murray), printer.; Dawson’s Book Shop.
Our miniseries continues as the new semester kicks off here in Iowa City. Hopefully you have your textbooks in hand, but if not, there is still hope that one of the bookstores may stock them!
Even if you don’t need textbooks, this author argues that they can just be fun places to visit, which I certainly agree with!

YouCan Judge a Book By Its Cover: a brief survey of materials
Bernard C. Middleton, author; Kerstin Tini Miura, binder.; David Pankow, editor.; Mel Kavin, introduction, publisher.; Ward Ritchie, book designer.; John DePol, engraver.; Patrick Reagh compositor.; Henry Morris, printer.
With the semester starting, we will be sharing a few books about books to get those in school back in the scholarly mood.
Today’s offering disagrees about the popular saying “You can’t judge a book by its cover”, countering that there is a lot that a book’s cover can tell you.
Special Collections & Archives has three copies of this book, and all are beautifully bound by Tini Miura in black morocco; spine and covers decorated with gilt, metal foil tooled, and multicolored leather circles; leather doublures with multicolored onlays and tooling; silk headbands; gilt edges; in a marbled-paper chemise and slipcase.
So go ahead and judge! This cover does tell you something about how much work went into making this item!
“500 copies of this book were produced with 400 numbered copies for sale. Ward Ritchie designed the book, illustrated by John de Pol, set in type by Patrick Reagh, printed by Henry Morris …”–Colophon.
Individual copies are bound to one of 33 designs each by a different designer bookbinder. All Special Collections copies are signed by author, illustrator, binder, and others.–Catalog
