We take you behind the scenes at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library in Toronto, Canada, which houses over 700,000 volumes - including Shakespeare’s first folio, the first handwritten draft of the Handmaid’s Tale, a centuries-old legal deed, Alice in Wonderland erotica, books made from animals, and so much more. We met with John Shoesmith, the library’s Outreach Librarian, who gave us a tour of the Fisher’s restricted and rarely seen storage areas.
