Congratulations to Paula Jarvis
Her new newsletter Printed and Bound is informative and beautifully laid out.
I was interested in all the articles (especially the one about bookmarks).
When you start reading the article be sure to clink on all the links.Would you believe one collector has over 120,000 bookmarks ?
If her plans do not change the next issue (February) will contain an article about bookplates and will also appear on the BCD website.
Here is a link to the current issue.
Congratulations to fellow collectors Anthony Pincott and Peter McGowan
Their discovery of the 96 hour day enables them to do the the work of four individuals in compressed time, defying all known laws of physics. Currently they are working on a very special auction in which you will be able to bid .
The lots come principally from the collection of ladies' bookplates formed by Stephanie and Brian Schofield, and are being sold on behalf of Brian's executors.
More detailed information will be forthcoming .Stay tuned.

I would like to learn more about this little known Austrian artist and any other bookplates she designed. She emigrated to the United States where she met Waldemar Bernhard Kaempffert . In 1931 he was the science editor of The New York Times .
Here is some biographical information about her which I copied from the internet.

City, where she was a noted designer for
Bloomingdale's. She held several patents
