Fogler exhibit celebrates the University of Maine Press



An exhibit currently on display at Fogler Library celebrates the University of Maine Press, a division of UMaine Libraries, and highlights one of its most recent publications, the 3rd edition of “Maine Amphibians and Reptiles.” The narrative traces the journey of the book from the time the draft is submitted to the printers, through the various proofs and finally to the finished product which is ready to be shipped out for distribution and sale. The display includes copies of the first and second editions of the book and a brief history of UMaine Press.
