11. Vellum Wrapped Almanack

England, 17c.
On: Booker's Almanack
Published: London, 1637
British Library, Shelfmark c123b5.

A limp, stab-sewn vellum-wrapped almanack.

Here, to contrast with the evolution of the limp vellum form into a gilded style found in the library of kings, is a 17th century reminder that its predecessor, the simple vellum wrapper, was still regularly used for less permanent applications.
