The Miniature Book Collection of Lois Boorman

CATALOGUE THIRTY-ONE - FALL 2005The Miniature Book Collection of Lois Boorman

Over a period of many years – the late Eighties and throughout the Nineties – certain times in our book business cameto be known as ‘Lois and Jodi’s afternoon’. The ladies were coming to tea! This was a ritual that was carefully nur-tured and orchestrated to the total exclusion of the writer of this introduction.Great laughter and a careful exchange of news and gossip of events in the book world were traded. There was alwaysmuch to talk about, especially a new miniature book that was about to be published – or to view a new arrival. Theonly interruption allowed was Lois’ exit from the get-together for a smoke in the garden. This comraderie of friendswas something rarely seen. It was always a joyful and satisfying time.With her death Lois left behind a remarkable gathering of close to four hundred miniature books in the finest condi-tion – she was a stickler for obtaining the best copies with the best provenance. In addition, the collection includes agroup of interesting correspondence with collectors, printers and artists, as well as some reference books. Jodi, Lois’s heir, has now entrusted us with the results of the passion of this fine book collector. This catalogue, whichhas taken over four months to prepare, is a homage to Lois as collector and friend. Nearly two hundred books havebeen carefully and professionally photographed specially for this publication.The collection consists of miniature books about: - people and their presses: #30 - #54- books about books, bookmaking and book people: #55 - $113- alphabet books: #114 - #130- a run of all the published titles of the Ash Ranch Press, together with

correspondence between Don Hildreth and Kathryn Rickard: #131 - #161- some stunning special copies and items in unique designer bindings and more fine examples from the collection:

#162 - #396.All in all, a gathering of beautiful books that was assembled with great love, perseverance and a good eye, all on alimited budget.We feel sure that Lois would have approved of the fact that a major part of the sales from this catalogue will go to theeducation of two underprivileged children. We hope you will share in our enthusiasm for Lois’ legacy.

ABOUT LOIS

“Lois Boorman (1922-2003) began collect-ing illustrated children’s books as anactivity for her retirement. After beingintroduced to miniature books, they soonbecame the focus of her collecting efforts.Once she discovered the craftsmanshipand beauty of books three inches orsmaller, there was no holding back herenthusiasm for owning the best shecould afford on her modest retirementbudget.

Lois came by her love of print from herfather, a printer for the ‘Evening Star’newspaper in Washington, DC. Growingup she saw her father’s pleasure when hebrought home a well-printed book. Sheabsorbed his passion about the craft ofprint. She came by her delight in ele-gance from her mother and incorporatedboth these ideas into her own individualstyle. Her passion was to find a book inas pristine state as possible - no flawsinside or out. Given a choice, she always preferred the particularly elegant, the deluxe edi-tion, the most stunning book she could afford.

Her father would have approved of her mini-collection of books about printers and theirpresses as well as her attraction to one-of-a-kind designer bindings. He would also haveunderstood her willingness to have cereal for dinner for weeks at a time so she could gradu-ally purchase an especially fine book she had found. Another of his lessons had been to avoiddebt, which she followed throughout her life.

By 1981 Lois had begun to buy a few miniatures. As soon as she joined the Miniature BookSociety she became engrossed in learning all she could about these books and those whomade, sold, and enjoyed such tiny treasures. She attended only one Conclave in person, butpoured over catalogs and read her copies of Bondy and Spielman with dedication. They madeher eager to see any and all kinds of miniature books available. Well before the internetbecame a common research tool, her enthusiasm for the chase and her determination to locatea specific book fueled her search for those graceful books she could hold in one hand. Lois hada whimsical side as well, so you could never be entirely certain what might catch her eye. Nomatter its subject, an elegant creation would be carefully considered.

The joy and pleasure these books gave Lois is almost indescribable. She was very aware shewas able to have them only because someone else had made a conscious decision to part withthem. It is in this spirit that these books, so painstakingly and individually chosen, are avail-able. There was a wonderful twinkle in her eye when Lois discussed books and an incrediblesingle-mindedness when she was in pursuit of one. This catalog honors one woman’s nichein a particular genre of the book collecting world.”

ABOUT THE LADIES“Then there were the two ladies. One day I received a letter from a lady who wanted to come and see my books. Shewanted to bring another lady and she even told their ages. No one had ever done that. We set up a date for a one dayvisit and they arrived at my door on time. One was a little younger than me, and the other was over 30 years youngerthan me. They were great friends and the older one (Lois) told me right off that if anything happened to her, all herbooks would go to Jody so they must never buy two books alike. That was not a problem because Jody likes wordplay books (she works in a children’s bookstore) and Lois likes elegance. You could not meet any two women who areso fervent, so keen, so inspiring and so just plain all fired up about miniature books. They are a delight to know.“They bought some books and went home and ordered more. They came back for a second two day visit. They boughtbooks and went home and ordered more books. Jody writes interesting and sometimes long letters. Lois sends cards,

short notes, and she telephones. What a charming adventure this is.“On their second visit I told the ladies about the book I had started on my adventures. Thatwas a mistake because they gave me no peace. More, more, more was all I heard. I sent thema chapter and that made it worse. So, ladies, it’s on your heads. You got it. Now are you sat-isfied?” - Kathryn I. Rickard, My Adventures in Minibibiomania, 1996, p. 170-2.
