It's taking place at Florida Atlantic University, which has a large collection of books from the Revolutionary War period. (The seminar, which is called The Revolution in Books, is part of the summer NEH-funded professional development seminars for higher education teachers.) I only just found out about these programs and am very excited, it's going to be book heaven. I don't know if there's anything like it in the UK but this is one of the remaining federally-funded programs for the arts that hasn't gotten shot down in the US.
Ah, the colophon. Thanks for those De Wordean examples. I enjoyed them almost as much as the colophons in the middle(!) of Inscription, Issues 1&2. Here are some other examples for fun: http://books-on-books.com/2019/04/23/the-colophon-and-the-left-over-i/
Enjoyable as always, I'm looking forward to sharing your blog with colleagues of mine this summer during a rare book seminar. Many thanks
Thank you Maureen! Where is the rare book seminar happening?
