This weekend, you should read this! James Mosley: Through his ideas, collecting and dogged research, the former St Bride librarian has shown that printing history can be both lively and opinionated. The world of typography owes him a great debt. eyemagazine.com/feature/articl…
So sad to hear of the death of James Mosley (1935-2025) yesterday. His contribution to printing history cannot be over-estimated, and his development and steering of St Bride Library is a wonderful legacy. He and his knowledge will be missed by many.
And if you are in Cambridge in September then you might like to see Baskerville @UCamArchaeology where Birmingham-based Theatre(ish) will perform a 80 minute show which looks at the life and work of the famous printer (plus some of our research!) cphc.org.uk/events/2025/9/…
If you are in Birmingham in September then you might like to see Baskerville on stage at the MAC where Birmingham-base Theatre(ish) will be performing a 80 minute show which looks at the life and work of the famous printer (plus some of our research!) cphc.org.uk/events/2025/9/…
Does anyone have any knowledge of a French punch cutter by the name of Fevrier(?) who may have cut some Baskerville punches for Deberny et Peignot? Many thanks in advance.
If you were hoping to come to the Association of European Printing Museums conference in Birmingham you may be disappointed as we are now fully booked. To those who already have tickets we look forward to welcoming you @winterbournehg in September, to those who missed out, sorry
Thanks to the generosity of the Bibliographical Society we still have two subsidised tickets for postgraduate attendance at the forthcoming Print Networks conference. eventbrite.co.uk/e/print-networ…
'From Provincial to Regional A conference in memory of Peter Isaac and John Hinks', 23-24 July, @winterbournehouse.bsky.social. A few tickets remaining, £95 for two days. A bargain. See here for the great lineup of speakers and link to booking: cphc.org.uk/events/2025/7/…
There is still time to register for the BBTI Workshop in Birmingham. It's free but only a few places left. Led by Giles Bergel, the workshop will explore new uses of the BBTI dataset while also provide an historical overview of how it came to be. cphc.org.uk/events/2025/7/…

I am talking about Gutenberg and early type-manufacture (and The Catholicon) in Oxford on Thursday evening. If anyone would like a zoom link it will be available from the Society's Secretary (contact via the website). #OxfordBibliographicalSociety
At our university, in a bid to save money, at least one Professor has been instructed to give a day a week of their time to managing health and safety in their School. What an insult and a waste of academic talent, and surely puts people at risk.
You know it makes sense. ☺️
Speaker announced for the Association of European Printing Museums conference in Birmingham, in September. Hope to see some of you there. cphc.org.uk/events/2025/9/…
