The Centre for the Book is delighted to be able to welcome back on of our most popular presenters, Prof. Janine Barchas from the University of Texas.  She will be delivering a public lecture entitled, “Two Copies, Two Prices, Two Readers: Victorian Books and Variable Pricing.” on Wednesday, 4 August at 5:30 pm in Archway 3.  We hope you can join us for this lively and heavily illustrated talk delving into the much discussed but rarely spotted “common reader”.

And for our fans farther away, you are welcome to join us via a live stream.  Please register here: Register.  You will be sent the Zoom link a few hours before the event is scheduled to start.
