I interviewed @CamUniLibrarian and Prof. Jim Secord about Darwin, the Correspondence Project’s exhibition (soon @nypl), and the return of the Darwin notebooks for @finebooks! Such interesting conversations. I hope you will enjoy reading the piece. https://t.co/mCk2nFbXCi @theUL

If the world is getting a little too much may I recommend the inexplicably obsolete word ‘latibulating’, from the 17th century? To latibulate is to find a cosy corner somewhere and hide in it.

The Society’s gold medal was presented last night to Dr David Shaw, past President, in recognition of his distinguished services to bibliography, including in the Cathedral Libraries Catalogue and his many publications on French and English printing.

I am now four years older than my father ever got to be. Every year on #FathersDay, I post this The New York Times short story because I never stop missing him. This story is about my father. And maybe yours. Thanks for indulging me.

📢 Today we're at Parliament to hand in our petition - signed by OVER 80,000 people - calling on the government to fix end of life care.

Too many people are dying alone and in pain.

Politicians urgently need to invest in end of life care and make sure terminally ill people get the support they need. 💛

The importance of reading, not slight stuff to get through the time, but the best that has been written, forces itself on me more and more every year I live; it is living in good company, the best company’: Matthew Arnold

RIP Paul Durcan.

This was the first poem I read by him, and it absolutely broke me.

Hello people in the West End of London, Pinda's lost a ring which belonged to my mum. If you're walking between Golden Square and Cecil Court this afternoon, and you spot a little Georgian gold ring set with seed pearls and purple-ish garnets, we'd be overjoyed to see it again.

If you've read du Maurier before, do you have a favourite novel?
