A Famous Trademark, of Sorts
Leary’s Book Store tied its advertising to the “The Bookworm,” a painting done in 1850 by the German painter and poet Carl Spitzweg. A cropped portion of this painting, showing the bookworm on a ladder, was used in Leary’s advertising and commercial signage.
Customers and browsers were routinely given bookmarks containing this image as well as informative posters related to the bookstore and its history.

“A famous theatrical actress
Played best in the role of malefactress.
Yet her home-life was pure
Except, to be sure,
A scandal or two just for practice.”

Golden opinions from all sorts of people,
Which would be worn now in their newest gloss,
Not cast aside so soon.”
