To have something listed, contact their admin office: http://www.aba.org.uk/contact.html I started working for an antiquarian/secondhand bookshop while finishing my MA in London, and remain happily employed in the trade. I've taken the liberty of sending this link to the shop I started at, Unsworth's Booksellers (http://www.unsworths.com), in case they're looking for someone. They specialise in early printing in the humanities, particularly Greek and Latin but also English & other history.

I would love to get into conservation, but not sure how I would go about that without taking a course. I'll keep it in mind though, as I sort out where to go from here. Thanks!

Im afraid that the History of the Book masters puts you oddly in the middle, and could send you in either the direction of the Librarian or the Conservator. I know quite a few places in the UK where you would be appreciated, but none off the top of my head that could arrange any kind of livable wages. Good Luck to you... Keep writing!
