Huntington Art

The gardens and art galleries at the Huntington in Pasedena are just tremendous. Amazing research library for Jim. He's not doing Renaisance research here but they have a world class collection. In their exhibition library they have the Ellemere Canterbury Tales, various first folios and quartros of Shakespeare, Gutenburg bible, the "double elephant" Audobon of prints, first editions of Spencer, Milton...everybody really and the first edition of Ulysses (the Paris, Sylvia Beach edition)...very cool!
