It is with great pleasure that I will once again be exhibiting at the New York Antiquarian book fair. It will be wonderful to meet friends old and new, especially after the two-year hiatus. If you are able to attend the fair, I will be at book B4, once again sharing with Leo Cadogan. Please let me know if you are in need of a ticket.

American Association for the History of Medicine 94th Annual/Virtual Meeting.

I am delighted to be taking part once again, albeit virtually this year, at the American Association for the History of Medicine Book Exhibit. Open to meeting attendees from 5pm on Thursday May 13th, the book exhibit runs from 8am – 8pm on Friday 13th  and Saturday 14th, and from 10am – 2pm on Sunday May 16th.

I will be available to chat at certain points during the day – though sadly the time difference means that my appearances may be brief! Nevertheless, sending best wishes to all my AAHM colleagues and friends and very much looking forward to when we can meet again.

I have recently produced a Catalogue of Early Books in Science and Medicine which can be viewed here: EarlyScience&Medicine
