Quires & Clasps, the blog component of this site, will begin to feature more frequent posts on aspects of early modern literature, bibliography, and book history — the histories of books and their readers. If you cannot wait, you will find that I am much more active on Twitter. Descriptions of books in my catalog often include original research, too, and should be of interest even to those who do not collect.
