CAMBRIDGE BOOKBINDING 1450-1770
15 DECEMBER 2023
A fascinating new book by Liveryman Dr David Pearson, accompanied by a series of lectures, explores the history of book-binding in Cambridge.
Among its many talented members, the Stationers' Company is lucky to include some highly renowned scholars. These include Liveryman Dr David Pearson, who this year held the Sandars Readership in Bibliography, one of the most prestigious honorary posts for book historians (another of our members, Liveryman Dr Gordon Johnson, held the Readership in 2009/10). Sandars Readers deliver a series of lectures at Cambridge University, and although it's too late to invite you to attend in person, you can catch up online thanks to Cambridge University Library's YouTube channel - follow this link for more information: https://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/sandars/sandars-lectures-2022-2023
