The Dunedin Rare Book School returns to Dunedin for the fourth time from 29 January to 3 February 2017.  On offer are three classes taught by three superb scholars: Claire Bolton, David McKitterick and Scott Schofield.  Claire will be working with John Holmes to elucidate the still somewhat unexpected methods that printers adopted during the incunable period as they experimented with typecasting, two-colour printing, and more efficient layouts.  David will bring to bear his wide-ranging historical expertise to examine how the whole concept of “rare” books has developed over the past three centuries, while Scott will explore the relevance of the history of book design for contemporary book production, both paper and electronic.  For more details, click on the second item in the blue ribbon, where you can read full descriptions and find advance reading lists for all three classes.
