The New Mexico archives house this incredible collection of date due book pockets drawn by Paul Horgan, a librarian at Roswell Military Institute from 1922-1959. These popular titles could only be loaned for ‘One Week’ as Horgan describes in his visual summary of each book. Fun fact, Paul Horgan won two Pulitzer prizes in History.
See all 200 book pockets here.

Ralph George Page liked to dance! So he made 165 magazines about the subject. Seriously inspiring. I need to make a NisN mag ASAP.
…from April 1949 until July 1984 he single-handedly produced a total of 165 issues in fourteen volumes, doing everything from editing the copy to affixing the stamps and carrying the finished, mimeographed copies to the post office. Far-reaching in scope, each issue contains a forthright editorial, directions and tunes for squares, contras and folk dances as well as folk songs, recipes, riddles, tongue- twisters, old wives’ tales, and other folklife traditions.
