''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. ''Ninety from the Nineties'' showcased a selection of ninety books made in the 1990s that were chosen on the merit of book arts. Note that the books were not necessarily written in the 1990s; some were older texts that were used to make special books in the 1990s. And, the books were not selected on literary merit. 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 paper counts for more than the story told on it. The illustrations and the binding might be the story." The books were divided into five categories: binding, paper, type, illustration and "inspiration." The exhibition was curated by Virginia Bartow. ==Books in the exhibition== Following is a list of the ninety books selected and shown in the exhibition.
