I was really pleased to see this short piece at philly.com on the West Chester University library's special collections. I grew up in West Chester and benefitted over many years from their libraries -- as recently as 2011 when I used an 1854 pamplet they have on the dedication of the Oaklands Cemetery in West Chester. I did not realize that they have an early edition of Shakespeare's work -- nor did I realize how valuable they are. (Sorry I don't have a picture of the library -- I'll fix that next time I'm home, I hope.)
