Introduction

A prestigious library comes to your school and reveals the secrets of notable publications and books.

Imagine that you are touching a book made during the time of Gutenberg; that you are writing with a goose quill pen; binding the pages of an entire novel; engraving linoleum. Or, if you are fond of new technologies, you can then imagine making your own book with a click.

At the time of tablets and screens, there are still secrets hidden in books and their materials.

Browse digitally through a rare book and manuscript library with thousands of rare editions and documents, and get to know the arts and crafts of book making through three different workshops.
