I can only conclude that the format will be Agatha Christie-style and that one more Westlifer must die each night. Weren't there more of them??

This is how you blurb

A last visit to @nmireland.bsky.social Words on the Wave to see the third opening of the St Gall gospels. Not my boy St John, but still, not too shabby. Also revisiting a relic label we studied in my palaeography class & one of the world's most famous library catalogues. 😍 Farewell, Swiss friends!

Having a cracking day with @annewelsh.bsky.social on this training! One of the many pleasures of being the secretary of the @laibluesky.bsky.social Rare Books Group...

You've got just over an hour to get here for this!

The manuscript of the week is RIA MS 23 P 26, the Book of Fenagh. This 16th century manuscript is mainly a revision of an older Book of St Caillín which no longer survives. The mark the manuscript’s 500th anniversary in 2016, an online exhibition was created and two lunchtime lectures were delivered

All the learning! Hurray! 🙌

We've had a great month of provenance adventuring with Madeline and I can't wait to share more soon!

By consulting the English Short Title Catalogue, and assuming the mindset of a Victorian, scissor-wielding lunatic, I have at last figured out what imprint I am looking at... another win for pedantic cataloguers everywhere!

À demain!

I had read about the similarity between the Hereford Gospels and some of the St. Gallen manuscripts, but WOW. Look at those swirls! So grateful for the opportunity to go see Words on the Wave last Friday.

Not sure if the cataloguing shaming here is more inspiring or terrifying.

Oooh! I'm going in September- do share the itinerary as you go!!

Twenty years ago we re-mortgaged our house to start Bluemoose and find great new writers who were being overlooked by the industry.

In the last 2 years we've had 2 BBC TV series adapted from books we published.

Not bad eh!
