Tell us about your favourite book of the month

Woodcut of the moon from a 15th century book on the calendar (our first book of the month: August 1999)

Our popular book of the month web feature will be ten years old in August. By this time, we will have written about some 120 diverse items from our collections – everything from medieval manuscripts, illustrated plate books, sets of archival papers and photographic albums, to the first books to be printed in the 15th century.

To help us celebrate, we would like to hear from you about your favourite book of the month. Please comment below or email special@lib.gla.ac.uk and let us know which book you like best and why.

We will publish a selection of the best comments on our website. From the favourites, we will also choose a selection of items to be displayed (along with your comments) at a celebratory party in Special Collections in August – if your favourite is selected, we will invite you along and you will have the chance to come and meet your book.

So please view our book of the month archive and tell us all about your favourite book.
