The Tunnel Book Research
Yesterday I went to the Spencer Research Library for the
first time. My sister works there part-time, but I’ve never been there for
actual research. I loved going in
there and being all cool and mature. My teacher Linda told me about actual
tunnel books I could reference there. It was a really neat experience. She also
told me about a library assistant named Espeth, who was a great help. I mainly
looked at two tunnel books by Rand Huebsch. It really made the entire idea of a
tunnel book a lot simpler. His books were really beautiful and the way he
formed the book was simple, but really expressed his drawings. For fun, Espeth
pulled out an old Victorian peep show book. It was so beautiful to peer through
and displayed, I believe, an exhibit from London, England. They really inspired
me and taught me so much. I really hope I can make such a beautiful book myself.
