#BookHistory mutuals, pls do your magic. A student in my seminar is looking for sources on fingerprints in books. Other than Darnton's reference to inky fingerprints left on the plates of the Encyclopedie, & Folger blog posts by @wynkenhimself.bsky.social, I'm short of ideas. Do you have any? THX!
Tomorrow's wrap-around front page of The National.
This is the human cost.
As the UK Government talks a big game of being ready to join the US and Israel in war, over 150 families are mourning their children.
Their little girls were mostly aged 7-12.

An exhibition poster, which includes details of how the British Women’s Temperance Association deemed the ice cream shop as one of the most objectionable and pernicious aspects of Sunday trading. Young people kissing and cuddling!!!
Ahem EVIL ICE CREAM
Went to visit this super interesting exhibition on Cafe D’Jaconelli at Maryhill Burgh Halls today - ice cream and immigration and social history - what more do you want on a sunny spring afternoon? 🍦 🍦🍦 www.maryhillburghhalls.org.uk/whats-on/202...
Coming soon! The 404 Ink Bursary for small presses and accompanying crowdfunder will launch in mid-March. This will give away at least £3,000 to small presses - we hope to raise more to pay it forward to even more people.

A mock headline from The Telegraph which reads ‘The sinister plot to force Canapés on the British public is a national scandal’

The cover for The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance by Chiara Bullen. The tagline reads: "Behind every hero, there's a historian." The cover is framed by icons; two open books at the bottom, green quills and thistle leaves above. Two golden daggers frame the title, and thorns lead up to two dragon heads. Above the title there is the image of a mountain and a small dragon. Below the title, there is an image of the white inn, a stag behind it and a path leading to the front door. The colour palette is mostly light gold, a teal green and black. The book cover is placed on top of an image of a snowy Buachaille Etive Mor and the Lagangarbh Hut, a white stone bothy, sits beneath it. Text reads: Now Available on NetGalley UK
UK reviewers: The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance is now on NetGalley UK!
My debut fantasy novel featuring a historian desperate to document a hero — even if he has to push them up a dragon-infested mountain himself...

This afternoon I have been writing about this delightful Thai snack, which was (almost) too cute to eat
