Go, litel boke! My new book about old books, Chaucer's Early Modern Readers, is now out with @CUP_LitPerform and thanks to @snsf_ch is free to read online! In it, I follow the trace of Chaucer's 15th c manuscripts into the early modern period doi.org/10.1017/978100…

Friends, I’m currently looking to take on more typesetting work over the summer – anything from pamphlets to full books – so if you or anyone you know/work for would like some of that, please do email my fancy new address: tom.cook@turnstonebooks.co.uk

A group of archives are requesting feedback via survey about their efforts to develop a portal for Black British archives and material. Please take a moment to fill out the survey. docs.google.com/forms/d/1UJyn1…

@azildjia96 Fantastic! Would love to learn more about your findings

An overdue update: I finished my database of dedications in Britain from 1641 until 1700! I've now viewed 98,263 books. These are the totals: amount of dedications overall, average of books with dedications, women dedicatees and couple dedicatees, and their average representation

@SchindlerKilian Many congratulations, Kilian! 🎉

@DE_Sawyer Wonderful to see this--congratulations, Daniel!
