Those excited by last month’s Centre for the Book Symposium and/or those who heard Jill speak last year will have high expectations for the class she is offering in London in June 2016.  Full details attached here.

“This course provides a holistic introduction to the study of children’s books, examining the book as a physical object—both bibliographically and materially—with a focus on rarity. Children are hard on their books, which may survive only a single generation. Until the last century, copyright deposit libraries did not especially value the acquisition of books published for children. Books from earlier periods produced for a cheap popular market or published under wartime conditions may be especially scarce.”  20–24 June, University of London.
