It's publication day!! Thank you to all of the folks at @urochester.bsky.social press and @boydellandbrewer.bsky.social who helped to make this book so beautiful. And thank you AGAIN to all of the folks in my (very earnest) acknowledgments.
Happy author (me) holding a bunch of hardcover copies of _Putting Plastic Surgery on Paper_. I am a white blonde woman with short hair wearing a white top and in an office with bookshelves visible in the background.Holding the hardcover version of _Putting Plastic Surgery on Paper_ up in front of two framed posters. The cover of the book shows a face being surgically reconstructed, in six steps, drawn with pencil on beige paper. The title (in caps) is backed by a dark red (the full title is Putting Plastic Surgery on Paper: How Art and Archives Defined Second World War Reconstructive Surgery in Britain).The back of the book, held in front of the same two framed posters. The text isn't super visible, but it includes the blurb of the book from the publisher's website, and the bio of the author, Christine Slobogin, as well as the press's logo and the barcode. The beige text box is outlined in dark red.The dedication page of the book reads "For my dad"

The Louvre, the world’s most-visited museum, remained shuttered Monday — not by war, not by terror, but by its own exhausted staff, who say the institution is crumbling from within.

In the 19th century, astronomers could see Mars through telescopes, but not clearly. Some used their imaginations to fill in what the blurry images couldn’t convey.

i learned from Emma Mason that Christina Rossetti asked to have herself buried in a wicker coffin for this reason, which turns this bleak nursery rhyme from *Sing-Song* (1872) into an autoreferential meditation on solidarity with those who have returned to the earth:
Page from Christina Rossetti's SING SONG, with an illustration of a dead bird and a basket and a poem: 

Dead in the cold, a song-singing thrush,
Dead at the foot of a snowberry bush, -
Weave him a coffin of rush,
Dig him a grave where the soft mosses grow,
Raise him a tombstone of snow.
