Creighton University Window: Volume 12, Number 3, Spring, 1996

Abstract

This issue of Creighton's magazine includes a five-page article by me and a single-page sidebar by Pam Vaughn. The article, Fabulous Gift (4-8) describes the collection at the time and several typical finds. Pam's sidebar takes up several fables and is gorgeously illustrated by FG from Pierre Barboutau. At the point of publication of the magazine, the collection included some 2400 books, whereas at this writing in 2012, the number is over 7100. Then I had been collecting for some seventeen years. Now it is more like thirty-two years! The article is complemented by lovely photographs of engaging volumes. The magazine's cover is a spectacular composite showing several fable characters arising from the pages of an old book. I am still delighted with the job that Window did!
