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.

Fears not undermining days,
Grows by decays,

Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.”
