Looks like the hardback is sold out.
As it happens, they sold out of the hardcover of the Art of the Manuscript this morning. Ugh. So if anyone is willing to part with a copy, I'd love to talk!

A discussion amongst the mods sparked by a question that Bill got. "How much is the collection at Marquette worth?"
Our best guess is north of $100M

An interesting article on 'microfilm', a technology that a lot of people may have never used, but I used to use this a lot at college.
