[Sfts-faculty] Klein Librarian update August 2023

[Phoenix Alexander]

Dear all,

I hope you're staying cool and hydrated in this fierce heat!

There's been lots of behind-the-scenes work on updating our print collection holdings this month, as well as processing some exciting new (and old!) donations, and I can share the following purchases:

  *   We have completed our collection of Walking Tree Press' Cormarë series of publications<http://www.walking-tree.org/who_are_wtp.php> on Tolkien and his work, and have set up a subscription to obtain all future titles in the series.

  *
Willard, John, The Cat and the Canary, 1927. A novelization of the early horror movie<https://archive.org/details/TheCatAndTheCanary1927DVDRipSiRiUsSHaRe> directed by Paul Leni: a foundational precursor to the immortal Universal Monster films starting a couple of years later. This handsome edition will feature in a future exhibit, so look out for it soon!

  *   Wright, Henry, Depopulation: a Romance of the Unlikely, 1899. Adding to the Eaton Collection's impressive collection of Utopian literature, this novel is a satirical snapshot of late nineteenth century urban America.

Wishing you all a wonderful summer!

Warmth and light,

Phoenix

Recommended book of the month:  Sordidez, E. G. Condé (2023)
