Our friends at @uofsclibraries.bsky.social helped us move to @manifoldscholar.bsky.social supported by @uminnpress.bsky.social. So look for @uscpress.bsky.social's Open Carolina content and, in time, lots of content made available by USC Libraries here: manifold.sc.edu #openaccess #libraries

Plus ca change.... I found this when researching @uscpress.bsky.social history at the South Caroliniana Library in @uofsclibraries.bsky.social. As the 1952 letter from @uchicagopress.bsky.social shows, @aupresses.bsky.social business has always been careful and, well, slow! #amediting

Hot of the reprint presses! Archibald Rutledge captured the essence of an era of sporting life here in South Carolina. My @uscpress.bsky.social colleagues have kept some of his best writing in print. Thanks also to Jim Casada for his fine editorial work on these volumes. #allthingsSC

Our friends at Texas A&M Press sent this fine history of their Press, a gem at @tamu.bsky.social! TAMU Press, @utexaspress.bsky.social, and @uscpress.bsky.social all share a common founder--Frank H. Wardlaw, a remarkable figure in @aupresses.bsky.social-land

Louise Jones DuBose, 3rd director of @uscpress.bsky.social, was the first woman to run a university press. I can't wait to see her papers at the South Caroliniana Library. See South Carolina Encyclopedia: tinyurl.com/rfpn7bdr FYI @aupresses.bsky.social @uofscprovost.bsky.social @uofsc.bsky.social

Throwback colophons! @charleswatkinson.bsky.social at @uofmpress.bsky.social shared this 1949 poster of the logos (aka colophons) of the 69 @aupresses.bsky.social members. Our @uscpress colophon is, well, curious. @ohiostatepress might have the best, futuristic look!

18 months ago we revised the interiors of scholarly books to be kind to readers' eyes. Here's a sample from @semmesryan.bsky.social's EXPORTING RECONSTRUCTION. Much better than 450+ words/page! Thanks to @uscpress.bsky.social colleagues who made this happen on all our books. @aupresses.bsky.social
