FABS Handpress Era Zoom Group: David Levy on Hoyle

November 10 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm EST

Sponsored by FABS

David Levy will present “The Earliest Hoyles: what a bibliographer can learn from examining multiple copies.” From 1742-1747 there were three authorized publishers of Hoyle’s pamphlets on popular games of the day. Each publisher had a characteristic binding, from a richly tooled deluxe morocco at the high end, to drab paper wrappers at the bottom. The bindings reveal much about how the pamphlets were sold and who read them. To receive a link contact Jennifer Larson at info@fabsocieties.org.
