#BookHistory people!!! We really need you to submit to this! @ellenforget.bsky.social is creating this alt text guide to go with the upcoming bibliography which will incorporate electronic text, audiobooks, talking books, and braille.
Hello, bookish friends! I am writing an alt text guide for book historians for SHARP. To do that, I need sample images to work with! If you have some bookish images, please send them my way. Details here: www.sharpweb.org/sharpnews/20...

I am stunned that Professor John Edmunds’ revelation at #CovidInquiry this week that much of the loss of 20,000-25,000 lives in Autumn 2020 could have been avoided if Boris Johnson had listened to scientific advice is NOT headline news and front cover of every news outlet in UK.

#Earlymodern books were more than just reading material.

Yesterday I visited the Maurits Sabbe Library at KU Leuven again where Lieve Watteeuw showed me this unique hollowed out book printed in the Officina Plantiniana in 1589 with relics inside! I'm in awe 🤩
