@lehelton.bsky.social I remember someone (you??) telling me that the books in schomberg’s collection were rebound when they were sold to nypl in library buckram. I cannot find a source on it though. Did I hallucinate this or is this true?

So captivated by this Lavender Baedecker from the @roselibraryemory.bsky.social collections. Circa early 1960s. Of course I had to look up Birmingham to see where the gay bar used to be
