This cleverly designed and richly illustrated dual language English and Hebrew publication will accompany the first temporary exhibition in the new building of the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem. It draws its objects from both the Library's collection and the highly prestigious, privately owned Braginsky Collection of Zurich, Switzerland.
