About Reading Abbott
Exhibit | Textures of Book History
la version française suit
The exhibit includes irreplaceable witnesses to the story of book history from its origins as clay tablets through the mass-produced nineteenth-century editions.
Writing systems and their scripts develop alongside innovations in materials that support the text, which in turn, influenced the resulting form of the book as object. As writing is a communication process of ideas, various intellectual movements will also impact form.

Exhibit | Music in the making
La version française suit.
This exhibition shines a light on the work and the processes involved in creating music, thinking about music, and writing (about) music.

La version française suit
We are each in charge of our own health and well-being and having the right information can help us stay healthy and recover when we are not well. The Internet is filled with health information, some trustworthy and evidence-based, and some designed to sell something or to misinform. Each year books are published that make big claims about health topics, some are based on evidence, and some are nothing more than one person’s opinion.
