I think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime. This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today. aresluna.org/the-hardest-...

Well my reading list just got a whole lot longer... I don't have to be sad that I've finished this book, because it will keep on giving for a long time. #booksky

Fascinating that being an antiquarian book dealer is a factor to be elided when talking about the romance rare book collection I sold to the Lilly!

Love this video from @rebeccaromney.com and am fascinated by the idea that people used to have a “book binder” that would put covers on their books the way people personalize their phones with custom cases/skins today.

Our upcoming print catalogue at the shop includes a rare 18th-century book on insects — so we are leaning into that for the cover design 🪲

Another addition to my Jane Austen Bookshelf collection: this 1903 edition of Frances Burney’s EVELINA. My book is finished but I can’t stop collecting 😭

ICYMI: I built a starter pack of classic romances that goes all the way back to the 1950s. Selected to show the genre’s breadth, not simply to hit familiar highlights. It’s a lot of hidden gems, and I’ve probably left off at least one of your faves (gift link). #RomanceColumn #Romancelandia

Thank you to the @washingtonpost.com for their stellar review of JANE AUSTEN’S BOOKSHELF — I am especially pleased that my admiration for the books Austen loved comes through: “she makes us want to read them, too.” www.washingtonpost.com/books/2025/0...

Counting 238 individual copperplate engravings is much more pleasant when they look like this. From the 1776-1783 German edition of Charles de Geer’s magnum opus, ABHANDLUNGDEN ZUR GESCHICHTE DER INSEKTEN [Treatise on the History of Insects]
