Very exciting: the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography published a cluster of new entries on women stationers. See the intro by Valerie Wayne: www.oxforddnb.com/newsitem/906...
ODNB entries are so helpful in identifying women from traces on printed material. So happy to see this work ❤️

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a publisher in possession of a famous backlist must be in want of a special edition – even if it costs £925.

Mistakes were made in #earlymodern print shops. However, such #misprints, as they were called, rarely survived in our collections. Here you see a misprint from 1642 Germany. The image was printed upside down, and the proof-reader crossed the print to make sure this is not to be used. #bookhistory

Visited Derby Museums this afternoon to see the Joseph Wright ‘Life on Paper’ exhibition today. Really fascinating to see Wright’s line drawings that showcase his artistic brilliance from age 11. So much to see - will need to visit again before exhibition ends in September. Very much recommend it.

Excellent argument for tax-free arts prizes from Alice Grundy. It’s appalling that you don’t pay tax for a lottery win but you do for a literary prize.
Looking forward to seeing who wins the Miles Franklin tonight.
A shame that they pay tax on their winnings but if you win the Block or a TV game show you don't pay tax.
Past time for change!

Here's something absolutely cooked about books in Australia
It's a big week for Australian culture, with announcement of the shortlist for the Miles Franklin Literary Award, one of the country's top writing prizes.
