It's always gratifying to see a new monograph published about an item(s) that we've acquired for our Locked Stacks. The new MIT Press book Utopie: Texts and Projects, 1967-1978, for example, discusses the Parisian architectural group Utopie, whose main journal we purchased a few years ago. As is the way of a good research library, primary and secondary sources mingle together in the collection, offering different, and complementary, research experiences.
