Few blogs on the Internet today are as erudite as Sarah Werner's Wynken de Worde. Named for the 16th century Dutch printer and publisher who popularized the printing press in England, Werner's blog draws on her education at the University of Pennsylvania (she earned a PhD in English) and her work at the Folger Library (where she was a Digital Media Strategist). At the time of this writing, featured entries included an expose on the joys of keeping a book list with notes (and a link to her own list for 2015), a kind of love letter about a newly digitized map in the Stanford collection, and the wonderful, "questions to ask when you learn of digitization projects." For librarians, book lovers, and anyone obsessed with literary marginalia, Wynken de Worde will come as a welcome find.
