Description

In 2006 Grolier Club member Neale Albert exhibited highlights from his collection of miniature designer bindings in the Club’s second-floor gallery. Two years later, Neale donated the entire collection, a 200-volume survey of contemporary binding art and craft by some of the world’s greatest living binders, to the Club, along with a specially-designed cabinet in which to store and display these colorful and appealing miniature volumes. The collection and cabinet are dedicated to the memory of Neale’s daughter, Debbie.
