In challenging the stereotype of legal literature as a dreary expanse of dry text, this book will surprise and delight both bibliophiles and members of the legal community. This handsome full-color book is enhanced by Michael Widener's essay "Collecting Yale Law Library's Picture Books," Mark S. Weiner's "Reflections on an Exhibition," Jolande E. Goldberg' s "Ars Memoria in Early Law: Looking Beneath the Picture" and Erin C.
