Glorious Hobart: wonderful weather for buildings and boats accompanied by the bells of St David��s. Boxing Day bliss.

Dear @TheLondonLib I miss you. I even miss those occasional but unforgettable electrostatic shocks in The Bookstacks: not-too-subtle reminders of the powerhouse of intellectual energy to be found there. #BookLoversDay greetings from Melbourne, Australia.

@richove @HistoriaHWA Congratulations! I've just finished the wonderful #Burningthebooks & loved every page. I wondered as I read, 'how could I have not known this before?' I will be recommending it widely to anyone interested in books, libraries & collections. An inspiring call to action. Thank you.

@Olenka_prints This looks great. Thanks so much for posting this, Olenka.

@profjill_burke So sorry to hear this news. Michael's print scholarship was inspirational. A BM friend told me he had a dozen people 'in line' should he come across a copy of 'The Print in Italy 1550-1620'. An article in 'Collecting prints and drawings in Europe, c.1500-1750' inspired my PhD...

"Memory is the seamstress, and a capricious one at that. Memory runs her needle in and out, up and down, hither and thither ...may agitate a thousand odd, disconnected fragments, now bright, now dim, hanging and bobbing and dipping and flaunting."

- Virginia Woolf, Orlando

[Dr Louise Voll Box @MemoryandWit]

All the very best to the friendly team @theleedslibrary for your re-opening. I have fond memories of my visit in 2018. Such a special place.

Fascinating video: restoration of an inspiring collection of albums of drawings & prints. I look forward to my next visit to @FondCustodia

[Fondation Custodia @FondCustodia]

Our drawings dating from the 15th to the 18th century are kept in period albums, placed between the blank folios of these large leather-bound books. An ambitious project has been undertaken to restore these albums subjected to the test of time and use. https://t.co/KjyUaQ6Nkp
