Columbia Rare Book and Manuscript Library to Exhibit Granary Books Collection

On September 8th, the Columbia Rare Book and Manuscript Library exhibits the Granary Books Archive (acquired in 2013) as well as ephemera and artifacts from the publisher's thirty-year (so far) run.

Next month the Columbia Rare Book & Manuscript Library will open an exhibition on the artist book and poetry publisher Granary Books: The Book Undone: Thirty Years of Granary Books. The exhibit runs in the RBML Kempner cases from September 8, 2015 through January 30, 2016, and will be open to the public during our open hours.
