A rare and precious chance to get some rewards hand-printed in our very special Bristol Common Press! Or, if you're feeling flush, get your own hand-printing workshop!

Sorry to be missing #SHARP2023 this year, but I would love to hear from anyone interested in the Publishing the Canon strand of @CUPElementsPBC !

Still 6 days to help us reach our new target! Bristol Common Press The hope is to also put funds towards a new work bench, new ink rollers (who knew they’re so pricey!) & new type so we can print in other languages. Donations from £1 + so gratefully received! crowdfunding.bristol.ac.uk/p/save-the-alb…

Woohoo 🥳

We are just so proud of our PhD student Tarini Bhamburkar (supervised by Tara Puri), who has won the ‘Expanding the Field’ award from the Research Society for Victorian Periodicals! 🎉🎉🎉 Look out for her essay coming up in VPR!

Thanks Patricia and the other organisers BAVS 2023 Annual Conference for being such fabulous hosts!

Looking forward to going to Leicester next week and talking about some new work!
