From the reliure mobile to the Schraubband. Collecting and storing prints in adjustable albums at the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin
A large section of the print holdings of the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin is housed in bulky albums known as Schraubbände (‘screw volumes’). From the outside, these albums are similar to print albums that abounded in private collections before the nineteenth century. But their leaves are not sewn together as in a traditional codex structure; rather, they are screwed together between metal rods. The rods can be unscrewed for easy insertion and removal of the mounted prints, while keeping them in the given order. By investigating material and historical aspects of the Berlin Schraubbände, this paper identifies their forerunners in the reliure mobile-albums in use at the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris, proposes a rationale behind their use at the Kupferstichkabinett in the late nineteenth century, and challenges the traditional discrimination between bound and unbound print collections.

The Decorated Bindings in Marsh's Library, Dublin
Among the many books in original bindings in Marsh's Library, Dublin, a surprisingly large number are in decorated blind- or gold-tooled, calf, pigskin or goatskin bindings, which date from the 15th to the 19th centuries. The bindings come from all over Europe, ranging from Ireland to eastern Europe. While most were made in England, some fine and interesting examples from Germany, Italy, France, Spain and Holland are also included. In this volume, leading scholar Mirjam Foot first gives an overview of how books were bound by hand and then describes the bindings by country of origin, within each section treating them chronologically and by type of decoration. The detailed descriptions of the bindings are illustrated with 52 black and white photos and 8 colour plates.
Contents: Introduction; Great Britain; Ireland; France; Spain, Italy and Russia; The Netherlands and Germany; Afterword; Selected literature; Index.

Die autobiographisch unterlegten Antikriegsromane von Alexander Moritz Frey (1881–1957)
(1929) und Adrienne Thomas
.
(1930) literarisieren den Erfahrungsraum des Sanitätsdienstes und der Kriegskrankenpflege; sie kamen in der Weimarer Republik fast gleichzeitig mit Erich Maria Remarques Bestseller
auf den Buchmarkt – und mussten diesem dank ihrer Qualität zunächst nicht weichen. Ihre Schutzumschläge und Bucheinbände, oft von renommierten Graphiker*innen geschaffen, kommentieren die in ihnen enthaltene Erzählung und sie illustrieren das Vergessen und Erinnern der Werke, die sie umschlossen.
