One of the many amazing things about finishing a PhD is that you can read non-fiction books again without feeling guilty that they aren’t ‘thesis related’.

I devoured Rebecca Priestly’s End Times on Sunday. Can’t wait to hear her speak at the New Historians Conference today!

Great article from @BowyerLibby about the "Picturesque Atlas of Australasia" (1886-88), covering "book vampires" (subscription publishers), a pistol-vs-pitchfork battle in Dunedin, and the question of what constitutes a "NZ book"

[Dr Elizabeth Bowyer (Libby) @BowyerLibby]

@jingajik Thank you!

[Dr Elizabeth Bowyer (Libby) @BowyerLibby]

This was super fun to write!

New article by me in the New Zealand Journal of Public History. Thanks so much to the wonderful editors @phanzasecretary

Clyde Taylor, Chief Librarian of ATL wrote about the legal saga involving the atlas in 1947 calling it ‘A Dog with a Bad Name’

[PHANZA @phanzasecretary]
