Self-promotional thread time! Like what I do On Here about book history and material culture? I would love to talk to your class or event about it! 📖

I’ve published on topics including the history of book conservation, the social significance of bookshelf organization, and the depiction of books in Magic the Gathering, and I would LOVE to write something for your publication!

Looking for video content about various physical aspects of rare books and the world of working with them? Check out my series #BiteSizedBookHistory, and let me know if you want to see content on a particular topic! 📺📖 youtube.com/c/BookHistoria

I make book supports and snake weights, which I strive to keep accessibly priced so everyone can care for their collection, no matter how big or small! I also take custom commissions 📚 (Even better, I’m having a sale at the moment!) etsy.me/3yzeix1

I would also love to speak with students or anyone interested in entering rare book librarianship or rare bookselling as a career! My DMs are open, and you can find my email address on my website 📚

Oh yeah, I’m also available as a podcast guest! 🎙 Next week’s episode of @whatyoulovepod features yours truly expounding on the world of book history, and the joy of books that have been loved to pieces 📚
