University Librarian John Zenelis gave a tour of “Beyond the Book: An Exhibition of the Brian Lamb Booknotes Collection” on display in George Mason University Libraries' Fenwick Library on the Fairfax Campus. “Booknotes” was televised from April 1989 through December 2004. The hour-long show featured one-on-one interviews with nonfiction authors by Brian Lamb. The collection donated to the university included the original books, with marginalia, and associated archival materials, such as reviews, notes, letters, and correspondence with authors. Mr. Zenelis also showed the reading room where the 801 books reviewed in the series were shelved in chronological order in Mason Libraries' Special Collections and Archives. close
