The 30th Annual Conference on Book Trade History

The 30th Annual Conference on Book Trade History will be held at The Foundling Museum, 40 Brunswick Square, London WC1 1AZ on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th November 2008.

Advertising and promotion have always underpinned the business of bookselling. The process of marketing is pervasive and inescapable, yet it is often difficult for the historian to reconstruct.

Over this two-day conference, the speakers will explore a wide variety of practices ranging from the earliest book advertisements in the fifteenth century to selling books online in the twenty-first.

The conference is organised by Michael Harris, Giles Mandelbrote and Robin Myers, in association with the Antiquarian Booksellers Association
