Paperback publication day! #Booksky #victorianstudies
Happy paperback publication day to me! I'm delighted to be spending it in Cambridge, where so much began for the Macmillan Brothers, and to be talking about it tonight at the very shop, 1 Trinity Street! Maybe I will see you there? Have you ordered your copy yet?

I'm setting off for Cambridge this week, going to spend a couple of days in some archives for my new project, then off to the University Press bookshop on Thursday evening to talk about Literature for the People! A few seats left? Where are you, Cambridge #booksky People?

What a Black Friday Week bargain! Would make a perfect Christmas present for your history-loving mother, your friend in the publishing industry, that relative who likes to boast about his Scottish Ancestry...anyone who loves Victorian London!
