This weekend we
are at the University of Missouri at the 12th Annual St. Louis Fine
Print, Rare Book & Paper Arts Fair. It runs through Sunday, May 6, and is
presented by the St. Louis Mercantile Library.

There are also fabulous
exhibitions at the Library including the extensive Headlines of History show
that traces the history of the printed news in Missouri as well as featuring
headlines that reflect historic events of the last two centuries including the
sinking of the Titanic and the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Yet another
exhibition is the Celebration of the Gutenberg Acquisition. The Library
recently acquired two leaves for the Gutenberg Bible and with loans from other
libraries and museums in St. Louis mounted an exhibition reflecting the impact
of this publication on the world at large.
