It's Official!: Coming soon...

Friday, 26 October 2012

Coming soon...

The countdown is on....only 5 days to go...not to the next James Bond movie but to the Official Publications Curators' Choice display. This display of items is showcasing material from the Official Publications collection. The reason for choosing these books will become more evident from future blogging.
The display cases are outside the reference services area in the National Library of Scotland.
