Greetings @cathfletcher.bsky.social and @apettegree.bsky.social
I've been traveling in New Zealand and I thought you might be happy to hear that not only are your new books on sale here, they are next to each other in the shop's front window at Scorpio books in Christchurch.

In this order: USTC, KVV, followed by VD16-18. Good luck
What are your pro tips for locating quickly the physical copy of a rare book when worldcat has you in an EEBO loop? Trying to get permissions on reproducing an image. The only hard copy I definitely know of is in BL & this edn doesn’t appear to be listed again in their catalogue.

With so many new followers, I guess it's time for an updated #introduction: Hi there! I am an #earlymodern historian with a weak spot for all things communication and media. My next book is about news flows. Here is a photo of me sitting silent next to books. Most used #: #bookhistory 🗃️ #skystorians

What an incredible and productive week we have had at the @gladlib.bsky.social ! Loads of annotations achieved, a huge chunk of Introduction drafted. Still loads to do mind, but very happy already about the achievements of the ’eldest daughters editing club’.

Sinclair Lewis's brilliant book, published in 1935, imagines what happens when the United States drops FDR in favour of a populist. Well worth a read in these troubled times.
