The Rare Book Collections are featured as a top story in Continuum, The University of Utah’s alumni magazine.
“She [Luise Poulton] wants everyone to have the sensory experience of holding a centuries-old book—to not just touch it while leafing through pages but to inhale the mustiness of a book’s scent, to hear the thick rustle of pages made from rag paper, to see the fine craftsmanship of books that were early printers’ pride and joy, to handle ideas that were revolutionary.
