Bookish links, some of which have been composting for awhile:

The title is shamelessly stolen from this fantastic blog, which I immediately blogrolled upon discovery. (via scribblingwoman.

Must order: The Reading Nation in the Romantic Period, by William St. Clair.

A lovely page on incunabula from Harvard. Definitely for use in future courses.

(Incunabula or incunables are the very first examples of books, pamphlets, and broadsides printed with moveable type in Western Europe. They range from the very first examples of the two-column Latin Bible produced by Johann Gutenberg in the 1450s to works printed through the end of the year 1500. The term incunable derives from the Latin word cunabula for “cradle” or “origin,” hinting at their status as the earliest of all books. Incunabula are also sometimes referred to as "fifteeners" from their appearance in the fifteenth century.)
