Lovely annual visit to Hereford Cathedral & its stunning library. Great exhibition inspired by the 550th Caxton anniversary, including an incunable (printed in 1473) given to the cathedral in 1478.

& then...? From the Shady Characters archive, delve into the history of the ampersand, or “and” sign, which goes all the way back to ancient Rome. Start at shadycharacters.co.u... to understand the hows & whys of this most elegant mark.

A collection of roman and italic typographic ampersands.

Very pleased that I finally refound this @starshapedpress.bsky.social print, which has apparently been hiding on my bookshelf for months.

Print of stacked book spines in autumnal colours saying Book Season.

The new exhibition is in, which is a tiny miracle. Some lovely incunabula in it, so I'm very excited! But too tired to celebrate.

Right, time to pretend the world doesn't exist and write some *very* basic panels about printing & captions for some quite exceptional incunabula. Go, go, go!

Thinking about delegation this morning. How do you distinguish between legitimate delegation and asking/telling people to do things simply because you don't have the time? This is a genuine question, so I'd love to hear any thoughts.

I’m looking around for examples of Actual Play used by nonprofits (heritage orgs, academia, etc) I’m also trying to get a temp check on how it’s seen vs for-profit. From my comments (& general observation) it seems UK is leading the anglophone world in this one, but feel free to prove me wrong!

Here I am promoting the display of Elizabeth Blackwell's 'A Curious Herbal' in the pages of The Yorkshire Post. But why, of all the plants I could have gone with to highlight for our exhibition on folklore, magic, and medicine, have I chosen to look at something as everyday as a tomato?

A photo of me in a newspaper clipping. I am looking at an old book, open to a page with a colour illustration of a tomato plant.
