Mary Ann O'Brian Malkin
Mary Ann O'Brian Malkin, editor and collector of books on dance notation.
Mary Ann O'Brian Malkin (1913–2005) collected books on dance notation, the shorthand used by choreographers to make detailed records of their work. Especially strong in 18th-century European material, her collection, given to Penn State in 2003, was the best in private hands.〔 Obituary; accessed 1 December 2010.〕
==Career==
She was born 13 March 1913 (or, as she liked to say, on 3/13/13) in Altoona, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of Agnes (Lynch) and Lawrence O'Brian, who worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad. A 1937 graduate of the Pennsylvania State University, she married Donald Woodward Lee, an instructor at Penn State, and the couple moved to New York City so that Lee could pursue a doctorate at Columbia University; this marriage ended in divorce. While working at the R. R. Bowker Company in the mid-1940s, she met Sol. M. Malkin, editor of the ''Antiquarian Bookman'' (''AB''). Malkin purchased this weekly magazine from Bowker in 1953, by which time it had become a prime source for timely news, book reviews, and coverage of trade and library conventions. It attracted a large subscription list of dealers, both those especially concerned with selling used books and those primarily engaged in the sale of new books but who ran an out-of-print search service for their customers. She worked for the magazine, which later renamed itself ''AB Bookman’s Weekly,'' as administrative assistant, copy editor and – as “Grandma Lynch” – a features writer, posing as a book collector who lived in the mountains of Frugality, PA, and who kept her books in caves (good humidity) with bear traps in front of each cave (inexpensive security). Mary Ann O'Brian married Sol. Malkin in 1953. She was a frequent book reviewer in ''AB'' especially of needlepoint and cook books (''AB’''s readers got quite accustomed to these reviews, madly irrelevant though they were to the concerns of most of the magazine’s subscribers). She signed her reviews with her initials, MAM – and it was as MAM that she was known to her many friends in the book and dance worlds. Sol. Malkin sold the magazine in 1972; a year later, the Malkins were jointly awarded the Clarence Day Award of the American Library Association, an award annually made to a librarian or other individual for outstanding work in encouraging the love of books and reading. The Malkins were the first non-librarians to receive this honor.
