One Book Display

Librarians have created this exhibit to highlight books that only "exist" as part of other books. For example, this semester's OneBook selection, the History of Love, is about a book called "The History of Love." Other examples include the "Necronomicon," a book of pure evil spells, but it doesn't really exist - except in the pages of HP Lovecraft's novels, and "The Princess Bride," also a fake book in a real book by the same name.

Making audacious claims and creating fake dust jackets, authors, and including suitably germane fake "paraphernalia," the exhibit aims to entertain as well as highlight this literary type.
