Get your day off to the right start—and show your support of the Newberry while you’re at it—with this sturdy, Newberry-themed mug.
16 Oz of Get Up and Go for your academic, or otherwise, pursuits.
Nerfect Artistic Novelties designed this special-edition Pug to commemorate the reopening of our new-and-improved bookshop in 2018. Wearing a historically accurate costume drawn from the Renaissance-era graphic of a printshop featured on the our bookshop’s wall, this jaunty fellow holds an ink dauber that has left several ink stains on his clothes. Exclusively available at the Newberry, this item comes in a smaller size as well.
The perfect larger size to unnerve pesky Printer's devils in your shop!
11 oz of Cartographic majesty. Showing a portion of the1583 portolan atlas by Joan Martines. Used by sailors in the Middle Ages, portolan charts helped them to navigate from port to port in the Mediterranean, plotting a course, then deciding which of the 16 rhumb lines emanating from the compass rose best fit that course. Set sail for your next adeventure with one of the Newberry's many maps. Want to look up the original? Vault Folio Ayer MS Map 21
11 oz. of Newberry Collections history! Enjoy a beverage from a mug featuring a collage of bookplates of Newberry collections. The gentleman in the frame is none other than our founder, Walter Loomis Newberry.
This exterior photo of The Newberry was taken especially for us by Chicago photographer Bert Cohn. The Newberry's pink quartz bricks are beautifully offset by the lush green laves on this summer day. Each card, folded to 5.5x4.25 in., is printed in full color on bright white card stock, blank inside for your personal message. Each comes with a white envelope.
We also have sets of 8 ready and packed for your academic correspondences!
Mask up (and show your support for our library) with a Newberry face mask, featuring our custom logo emblazoned over a photoprint of a beautiful marbled paper from our collection.
Our Deluxe Edition Newberry Mood Pencil provides welcome relief that you still exist by slowly turning Newberry Blue as you hold it. Pencil validation at its finest! Sold in a set of three.
Nerfect Artistic Novelties designed this special-edition Pug to commemorate the reopening of our new-and-improved bookshop in 2018. Wearing a historically accurate costume drawn from the Renaissance-era graphic of a printshop featured on the our bookshop’s wall, this super-cute little guy holds an ink dauber that has left several ink stains on his clothes. Exclusively available at the Newberry, this item comes in large as well.
Small is the perfect size to keep you company, but too much!
TREATS FOR ALL cries our denizen of Bughouse Square. Ready to mount the soapbox in the name of snacks, our exclusive Pughouse Square plush is produced for us by Nerfect Artistic Novelties. He features ear appropriate dress for a Wobbly and has a dill picklw in his pocket, perhaps indicating he will meet up with fellow incorrigibles at the legendary Dil Pickle Club later!
We also sell the book about the Dil Pickle club, should you wish.
“SNACKS FOR ALL!” cries our PugHouse Square plush! Wearing garments appropriate to a soap box debater, our pug keeps a Dil pickle snuggled away in its pocket, referencing the legendary Dil Pickle Bohemian Club, a haven for Chicagoan free thinkers and an inspiration for the Bughouse Square Debates we host every summer. Commemorate the debates (and instigate a debate of your own if you want—why not?) with our custom-made, Bughouse-themed pug.
Given our old-school predilection for print, we found a kindred spirit in Starshaped Press, the print shop behind this exclusive letterpress print depicting our beautiful building.
Since 1999, Chicago-based Starshaped Press has stayed true to the original craft of letterpress. Using antique metal and wood type, the shop has bucked popular trends by showcasing the beauty and relevance of well-designed, historic type. Unlike most letterpress shops, Starshaped Press focuses on reusing existing materials (some over 150 years old) for all projects—meaning that no plastic is ever used in production.
This handsome poster is a stellar expression of the shop’s style and ethos, 9 by 12", fabulous for framing.
