New York University - Feature: From Zero to 55,000

An item of interest for food historians, "From Zero to 55,000: How NYU Amassed the Largest Collection of Food Books in America":

"Tucked away on the third floor of Bobst lies what many would consider a hidden gem: the Fales Library, the primary repository of rare books and special collections at NYU. In addition to its impressive holdings in literature, American history, and downtown NYC art, Fales houses an extensive food studies collection that ranges from cookbooks featuring every cuisine imaginable to the personal papers of some of the most influential figures in American food culture. And thanks to a recent gift of some 21,000 books and other food related materials from the private library of restaurateur George Lang, the food studies collection at Fales is now the largest of its kind in the country."
