Urban Center Books has the exhibit and Yale University Press has just published the October release book entitled Unpacking My Library – Architects and Their Books, edited by Jo Steffens and featuring an essay by Walter Benjamin of which this is a brief excerpt:
“I am unpacking my library. Yes, I am. . . . Be ready to share with me a bit of the mood – it is certainly not an elegiac mood but, rather, one of anticipation – which these books arouse in a genuine collector. . . . What I am really concerned with is giving you some insight into the relationship of a book collector to his possessions, into collecting rather than a collection.” – Walter Benjamin, 1931
