BLOOMSBURY ACADEMIC
NEW SERIES
Book History for the Future
SERIES EDITORS:
Lisa Gitelman, New York University, USA
Tom Mole, Durham University, UK
Sarah Werner, Independent Researcher, USA
Book History for the Future aims to define the cutting edge for a new generation of book historians, as book history enters a new chapter of its evolution. Books sit at a densely trafficked intersection of social relations, status negotiations, emotional investments, material possibilities, desires, aspirations, and dreams.
They require an intellectual approach grounded in attention to physical artefacts and material conditions while also engaged in theoretical reflection, attentive to historical contexts while attuned to contemporary resonances. This series publishes books that eschew academic parochialism in favour of adventurous engagements with new theoretical developments, innovative methodologies, digital tools, and global
contexts.
Exciting news, Bluesky! I’m editing a new book series for Bloomsbury with Tom Mole and Lisa Gitelman: Book History for the Future! Do you focus on material textual artifacts and innovative methodologies? We’re actively soliciting proposals, so give us a shout! www.bloomsbury.com/media/cecjzl...

The Sun-Times' AI content also includes made up experts, quotes, and publications. It's the same story, over and over: a news outlet outsources work to freelancers or third-party firms that use AI, and that content is thrown in with actual human work w/o review.

Yes! So puzzled about the missing OA material - it sits apart, unhoovered. Meanwhile, edited collections seen to have been irresistible.

An extra fun surprise: took me a minute to notice how many edited collections appear only under editor name(s). So chapters in there too, in case the articles, stories, books get lonely. Echo what others have said: feels different to know.
