Multiple Choice: From Sample to Product is an extremely interesting exhibit for anyone who is interested in samples and the origin of the sample book.
The exhibit and associated site from the collections of Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum and Smithsonian Institution Libraries examines sampling formats but in many ways the designers sample book influenced contemporary samplers and even studio journals today.

What a great site, thanks for posting this Sharon. Their blog is pretty cool too. I can see I’m going to need to pour myself another cup of coffee…
OMG, AGAIN you share such AWESOME material!!! God, when I lived in Maryland and worked in DC I used to take my daughter downtown to the Smithsonian Museums every other weekend. WHAT I missed!! Regards, YFT (*grin* as usual, Your Favorite Texan!)
