I stumbled across these absolutely fabulous #EndoftheWeekPapers as I was browsing through Jugend today – aren’t they cheerful? Jugend in 1920 is rather different from its first issues in 1896, but the #endpapers are always wonderful.⠀ 053 M921⠀

“Do you think that perhaps Death sleeps because you are healthy? Be careful: he arrives suddenly."⠀
This little book is called "The Messenger of Death,” and the captions really are #SpineTingling. #HappyHalloween, y'all!⠀

Happy Halloween! I was planning to post some traditionally skeletal #bookguts, but this little murder cherub initial from Vesalius smiled its way straight past #SpineTingling and all the way into chilling. Look at that razor!⠀

Although I would hate to cast doubt on the efficacy of these Famous Purging Sugar Plums, I must admit that it’s pretty nice to live in an era where I can get vaccinated against diseases instead. Have you gotten a flu shot yet this year?⠀

Kunstgewerbliche Schmuckformen für die Fläche! Or, more concisely, Decorative Designs for Surfaces. Our volume of this periodical probably dates to the 1930s: there were 21 in total, published between 1909 and 1939.⠀

Happy Friday! We found some charming #EndoftheWeek papers in this little 1717 paperback biography of Fabricius: it’s bound in paste paper lined with printer’s waste. I just love how you can see the layout of the printed sheet!⠀

Thanks to our physical processing staff, this book isn’t a source of #SpineTingling horror – it will be back in service very soon! In this picture, they’re toning kozo to match the spine for repairs.⠀
