It’s some way off yet, but I’m happy to announce that I’ll be giving a talk at the St Bride Foundation here in London on the 23rd of March next year. I’ll be talking about the overlapping histories of writing, printing and books, and signing some books of my own afterwards. Tickets are on sale at £12.50 (£8).
If you live nearby but haven’t been already, the St Bride Foundation is an excellent place to visit. The bookshop will be open as, I’m sure, will some of its fantastic printing exhibits. I look forward to seeing you there in March!

I think I may have found two very minor typos in The Book. I don’t have my notes with me at present, but one was a misplaced quotation mark. Is this an appropriate forum for reporting these possible mistakes or is there a more appropriate avenue? And, of course, I could very well be mistaken.
