Sara D'Amico's catalogue of #incunables at Marsh's Library is a BEAUTIFUL publication that looks amazing, but it's also a proper bibliographical description of our oldest books. #CERL #earlybooks

Fantastic beasts and where to find them. Well, in this case, there are some pretty weird ones in Cod. 3430 at the Austrian National Library!

Final days at @MaggsBros ... Got to work in the Curzon Street shop as well, totally worth a visit!

Re-found this spider squashed inside a book from 1492 when checking a reference. First time we saw it, we meant to ask if any scientists out there are interested in doing #DNA analysis of #insects, #flies, #moths, #spiders etc we have found in ancient books or MSS. If so, DM us.
