NYPL's vintage bookbinding stamp was originally used on the spine of books bound in and for The New York Public Library. Built carefully by generations of curators over the past 160 years, NYPL's collections now exceed 50 million items. In combination with the lending collections, it is the most comprehensive library collection ever brought together for the free use of the public. Celebrate the power of knowledge with an emblem of the Library's history.
