Our copy of The Token and Atlantic Souvenir (New York, circa 1856) features decorative paper onlays and intricate gold blocking on its covers and spine. Known as gift books or literary annuals, The Token and many other titles in the 19th century were marketed as Christmas and New Year’s gifts. #PublishersBindingThursday
