My second EVER publication is now online, part of the wonderful volume made for a @universalstc.bsky.social conference from years' past. See how one printer/publisher/bookseller in Geneva managed to evade the city's book trade authorities for over 20 years! #skystorians #bookhistory

Some highlights from the Staatsarchiv Zürich: Template of a passport for foreigners coming to work on the city's fortifications (1641), gov't-set prices to buy/bind schoolbooks (1640), and a handy guide on how to treat livestock diseases (1691). Will be up on the @universalstc.bsky.social soon!
