THERE’S
MORE TO A book than meets the eye. Terry
Belanger, U.Va. professor and director
of U.Va.’s Rare Book School, knows
front to back the history of books and printing,
rare book librarianship, and related subjects
including typography, binding, illustration,
the regulation of the press, publishing history,
the geography of reading and book collecting.
For his ingenious creativity, Belanger
has been named one of 25 MacArthur Fellows
for
2005. Each fellow will receive $500,000
in support over the next five years, to be
used at the recipient’s discretion. Full
story.
