Professor Tom Mole launches the paperback of his book The Secret Life of Books with a talk and signing.
The Secret Life of Books
Registration not required. The Secret Life of Books is all about books: the things we do to them and the things they do to us.
Principal of Van Mildert College; Professor of English Literature and Book History; Durham University
Tom Mole's most recent book is The Secret Life of Books (Elliott & Thompson, 2019). It’s about all the things we do to books and all the things they do to us. Christopher de Hamel called it ‘probably the most compulsive text ever penned about what it means to handle and possess a book’.
No need to book or register; just show up.
