An American living in London, I recently completed the MA in Book History at the Institute of English Studies, focusing on scientific and medical texts from the medieval and early modern eras. I’m particularly interested in texts as material objects: the technology of book production and the different roles that physical books play within society.
I currently work at Peter Harrington, a rare book shop where I also blog at The Cataloguer’s Desk. To learn more about my professional career, see my interview with Fine Books & Collections Magazine.

Your site is incredible. The styles of books you have listed are rare and under-appreciated. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and will be checking back VERY often. Thanks for putting such a thing out there in the world.
Thanks!
I like your blog. Your post about the Danse macabre is very good. I’ll continue reading your news. Congratulations!
Supercool site.
