June 25, 2007: Arthur Jaffe's Book Collection
"Today, the result of that mind-set is ensconced in a gleaming top-floor area in the Arthur and Mata Jaffe Center for the Book Arts in the Wimberly Library of the Florida Atlantic University Campus in Boca Raton. Partially, the Jaffe Center holds its founder's book collection - a very unusual book collection. There are around 10,000 volumes here, from a Peanuts pop-up book to one-of-a-kind books, but they are all distinguished by their status as aesthetic objects, irrespective of their actual literary content.
