I am delighted and honoured to have taken over the role of ABA President at the AGM in March. It is such a privilege to be taking over the role, and I am really looking forward to the next couple of years. I was so proud to join the ABA back in November 2009 and have benefitted enormously from the opportunities that it has afforded me, through the ability to exhibit at ABA and ILAB fairs, and from the support offered on a daily basis from fellow ABA members. I am looking forward to having the chance to speak on behalf of fellow members.
Dear Friends and Colleagues
I am delighted to once again be exhibiting at Firsts Online – joining over 60 international exhibitors.

In addition to preparing for First London, I am also delighted to be participating in the forthcoming ILAB Symposium on Wednesday September 14th 2022, the latest in a series of collaborative events and programmes between libraries, collectors and booksellers examining issues affecting the world of antiquarian books today. Following the successful symposium held at the Grolier Club in New York in 2019, we are gathering in the beautiful city of books and learning, Oxford, and are very grateful to the Bodleian Library for providing the Weston Library Lecture Hall as our venue.
A diverse and very knowledgeable group of booksellers, collectors, government representatives, librarians and law enforcement officers have agreed to share their views on some of the complex and challenging issues faced by those working with antiquarian books and related rare materials today. I am honoured to be taking on the role of Moderator for the day, and also to be one of the speakers for the first session.
