This bookmark is a gift from a friend who heard that I collect these funny little things. Its an advertising marker from Steven Schuyler Bookseller, in North Reading, Massachusetts. According to Dr. Schuyler's website, he specializes in materials for design/building professionals and in "things German".
Given that designing building is what I do, maybe I should go and check out this guy's shop. They also carry maps, prints, art and letters. And ephemera! Bookmarks are ephemera, but I don't think that the kind of thing they mean.
If I go and check it out, I'll let you know how it is. If you've been, write me a comment.
What the heck, even if you haven't been, write me a comment anyway, and I'll write back.
I saw his mobile shop at the Rail-Volution conference! He has a really great collection. I believe he has acquired the collections from some notable Harvard design professors.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why a rare book seller was at Rail-volution? http://www.railvolution.com/ I've never been.
