"TREATS FOR ALL!" cries this outspoken denizen of "Pughouse" Square. Ready to mount the soapbox in the name of snacks, this exclusive Pughouse Square plush pug was created for us by Nerfect Artistic Novelties. He features era-appropriate Wobbly dress and carries a dill pickle in his pocket (an homage to the legendary nearby Dil Pickle Club)!
“SNACKS FOR ALL!” cries our Pughouse Square plush pug! Wearing garments appropriate to a soapbox debater, our pug keeps a dill 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.
Designed for us by local artisan Nerfect Wordwide, this Pug plush renders the Bard himself in
Pug form. Produced as a limited edition for our prior Creating Shakespeare exhibition!
Based on a 1583 portolan chart by Joan Martines in the Newberry's collections, this map mug is 11 oz. of cartographic majesty.
Used by sailors in the Middle Ages, portolan charts helped them to navigate from port to port in the Mediterranean, allowing them to plot a course and then decide which of the 16 rhumb lines emanating from the compass rose to follow.
There has always been a strong connection between the literary world and strong drink.
We at the Newberry are happy to present this handsome 16.oz pilsner featuring our Newberry N logo, for whatsoever liquid will best help you with your studies.

It features a design that utilizes our logo and references our extensive collection of historical typefaces.

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.
A stellar expression of the shop’s style and ethos, this handsome poster is 9 by 12" and fabulous for framing.
