Today is the (print) publication day of our @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social volume 'Integration and Collaborative Imperialism in Modern Europe'! I'd love to show you a pic of the books but, uh, I haven't received my copies yet, so please accept this (OA!) e-book link instead: doi.org/10.5040/9781...
Here's a full view of the cover, which I think came out rather nicely.
