University of Virginia Library

Book Collector's
Contest Announced

Sponsored by the Bibliographical
Society, a contest
for book collectors, both undergraduate
and graduate, has
been announced.

Two cash prizes will be
awarded in the annual contest.
One is for collections
built around a writer, an idea,
or with a genre (novel, poetry,
drama or some other subject).
The other category is for collections
of bibliographical interest
(first editions, books of a
century, or from a particular
press).

Entrants should submit a
list of the books in their collection
with a brief statement
about their interest in book-collecting
to either William
Runge, Alderman Library, or
Irby B. Cauthen, 402 Cabell,
before April 1.
