Ninety from the Nineties: A Decade of Printing was an exhibition held at the New York Public Library from November 7, 2003 through May 28, 2004.
In a contemporary review, The New York Times described the concept of the selection like this: "books, which we are accustomed to thinking of as containers — and conveyers — of information, are placed in a context in which form is valued over content.
Language is less important than the type that impresses it on the page.
The books were divided into five categories: binding, paper, type, illustration and "inspiration."
Following is a list of the ninety books selected and shown in the exhibition.
