Looking After Your Books with Francesca Galligan

Do you think of the books you own as a collection, or a miscellaneous jumble? What does it mean to be a book collector? Perhaps you are about to start or expand on a collection, and you are looking for inspiration. If you already own books, do you shelve them by colour? And do you write in them? And why might these questions matter? Explore these themes and more with Dr Francesca Galligan, Deputy Head of Rare Books at the Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford, and author of Looking After Your Books.

This event is part of Firsts: London's Rare Book Fair, and will take place in the Talks Space on the top floor of Saatchi Gallery.
