Texas Bookman. The Bodleian Library is one of the oldest libraries in Europe and is the main research library of the University of Oxford. It holds over 13 million printed items and this handsome trio of spines are just three examples of the beautiful objects in the Library’s collection. With colorful illustrations and charming tales, these story anthologies showcase the sports and hobbies young people could enjoy during the 1930s. Combining high-quality production with magnificent fine art, the covers are printed on foil in five colors, embossed, then foil stamped. And they're powerfully practical: a pocket at the back for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks and a solid magnetic side flap. These are perfect for personal use and make a dazzling gift.
