Bowdoin's Pop-up Book Collection

Nineteen hundred (1,900!!) pop-up books have been donated by Harry Goralnick to the Department of Special Collections and Archives at Bowdoin College in Maine. Besides children's literature of Sendak and Grimm, pop culture is also represented.  Richard Lindemann, Director of Special Collections, feels this donation "places Bowdoin among the nations top repositories for toy and movable books."  This might be a nice point of interest on a New England road trip.
