The night before, I was sifting through my closet looking for ideas for my halloween costume. My original idea was to dress up as Dr. Pressman, but my wardrobe is not nearly as exciting as hers. I then began to sift through my notes and pictures of books that we have examined in our Special Collections Lab. I came across Liber de arte distulandi [sic] simplicia et composita: Das nüv Bůch der rechten Kunst zů distillieren is a collection of scientific work in German by Hieronymus Brunschwig. This old text had deep wormholes throughout the spine, both through the cover and the pages in between. I decided to recreate the wormholes with an old shirt that I had lying around. By cutting holes in the front and back of the shirt, I was able to mimic the wormholes in the pigskin cover of the Liber de arte distulandi [sic] simplicia et composita: Das nüv Bůch der rechten Kunst zů distillieren.
