This is a new cooperative venture run by the Institute of English Studies (IES) and the Antiquarian Booksellers Association (ABA). It is aimed at a broad audience including book collectors, book dealers, historians of all kinds, librarians, indeed at anyone with an interest in collecting any sort of text from the sixth former to the retired professor. The atmosphere will be informal, as will the presentations. We hope and expect that many of the talks will be illustrated by actual examples. The sessions will run at Senate House from 6.00 to 7.30 pm, usually on the second Tuesday of the month. All are welcome. If you would like to attend any of these sessions please email Jon Millington in advance. For further information see the ABA website: http://www.aba.org.uk/seminars |
