DESCRIPTION:Virtual event description:  \n\nJoin ROAAr and special guest Kr
 isten Howard for some tiny looks at tiny books. Miniature books – books me
 asuring at less than 3” in length or width – have fascinated collectors fo
 r hundreds of years. This enduring fascination is in part due to their bea
 uty\, the challenges of their production\, and their sheer curiosity value
 .\n\nThe Royce Gale Collection at ������ is particularly strong in miniatu
 re 20th-century fine artists’ books\, typically in extremely small print r
 uns. There is an emphasis on works created by Anne and David Bromer (Brome
 r Books)\, Norman W. Forgue (Black Cat Press Books)\, and Robert E. Massma
 n (REM Books)\, all leaders in the production of miniature books. Miniatur
 es\, though appreciated for their minute stature\, are best appreciated wh
 en magnified!\n\nThis outstanding collection was a generous donation to Ra
 re Books and Special Collections by the family of Eastern Township teacher
  and principal Royce Gale (1927-2020). Mr Gale was an ardent bibliophile w
 ith an exceptional talent for collecting rare and obscure items in excepti
 onal condition.\n\n\n	Special guest Kristen Howard will magnify some highli
 ghts of this exquisite collection and pay tribute to the collector and don
 or\, Royce Gale.\n\n\n	Watch on YouTube\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nKristen

  completed a PhD in History from the Division for Late Medieval and Reform
 ation Studies at the University of Arizona in 2020 and a Master of Informa
