Always happy to see ransomcenter books associated with such a great series!

Get neck deep in collation formulas with me at CalRBS this August.

Was great to see—and meet!—so many folks at #RenSA24 ! Will be in Boston next time around, too, for the SAA-RSA combo meal.

(If you’re doing good bookish work and would like to put together a panel, lemme know—I’ll probably be the The Bibliographical Society of America session wrangler one more year.)

Total blast—thanks to The Bibliographical Society of America for sponsoring our deep-cut work on old books.

And thanks to everyone who came. Who knew the trade in secondhand and old-stock print could pull an overflow crowd!
