T is for Turn-Up Book

By Jacqueline Reid-Walsh

I recently collaborated with Jacquelyn Sundberg, outreach librarian in special collections at McGill University, on a blog post about turn-up books:

T is for Turn-up Book

This post pans back from the focus on “The Beginning, Progress and End of Man” as 17th and 18th century religious turn-ups by putting them in the context of printing history. I wrote the text and Jacquelyn enlivened it with a video (for which she did the voiceover); there is also a making activity at the end where one can make one’s own turn-up book!
