Leonard Baskin’s Irises, published <strong>by</strong> the Eremite Press<br />

in 1988, was presented <strong>by</strong> the Friends to the UW–<strong>Madison</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> recently. The<br />

image above is one <strong>of</strong> seventeen etchings in the book. The signed copy is number<br />

four out <strong>of</strong> a run <strong>of</strong> only thirty-five. Although the Friends were focused on the<br />

milestone <strong>of</strong> six million books through their series <strong>of</strong> events called Celebrating<br />

Books, they were looking ahead. When presenting the volume,<br />

President Ann Nelson dubbed it “six million plus one.”<br />
