- Thank you so much for having me, and well done for organising such a great symposium! #BuiltWithBooks
- Here is @ellenwerner.bsky.social giving a fantastic paper about two Manchester apothecaries whose reading she is tracing through their books at @chethamslibrary.bsky.social. I obviously love early modern books and reading, but as a northerner myself, I find Ellen’s research particularly satisfying!
- Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it @alexbamji.bsky.social ! #RenSoc25
- Fascinating paper from @ellenwerner.bsky.social on the annotations of two Manchester apothecaries in a collection of books now in Chetham's Library and the ways in which they reflect engagement between reader and book and the impact of reading cultures on local communities #RenSoc25
