The Folio Society was founded in London in 1947. It was the brainchild of book-lover and collector, Charles Ede, whose desire to combine the typographical and artistic standards of the private presses with the latest industrial technology, resulted in some of the most beautiful and imaginative bindings ever seen.
This exhibition brings together 18 of the finest Folio Society publications, generously donated to the Barr Smith Library in 2014.
Among the books on display, are three titles which were not produced by the Folio Society. Visit the exhibition during Library hours, until 28th February 2015, to see if you can identify which books they are!

Get your first taste of University of Adelaide life at O'Week 2015!
Uni can seem like a big, daunting place when you start, but O'Week helps to demystify it all. It's a great way to experience uni in a fun, low-stress environment.
It's the perfect way to:
· Be prepared: attend preliminary classes and welcome sessions so you know what's happening when week one hits
· Know your way around: find out where everything is on campus, by going on a campus tour, library tour and even a faculty-specific tour
· Be inspired: make sure you make it to the Vice-Chancellor's Welcome address, where you'll also hear from our special guest speaker!
· Have lots of fun: The Adelaide University Union (AUU), AU Sports and AU Clubs all have loads to see and do along the northern end of the North Terrace campus
