Brilliant range of topics in every perspective. Many congratulations. Particularly interested in part 5. Any chance I could get a copy of book ownership in Navarre? Looking to expand my ignorance to get perspective on my research on female book ownership in Anglophone world

In Part 8: Towards Inclusive Histories, Kirk Melnikoff examines London women's book-trade wills, @grubstreetwomen.bsky.social and @kandicedarcia.bsky.social explore gendered marketing and authorship, and @malcolmjnoble.bsky.social pioneers queer ways to interact with books (pp. 430, 450, 476)

If you are interested in any of these chapters, I have no doubt the authors will be very willing to share their brilliant research. Please consider ordering a copy for your library or, even better, reviewing the book for a copy of your own. Thank you for reading! #herbook
