R.B. Russell’s Fifty Forgotten Books launch at Lucius Books
We are delighted to host the author and Tartarus Press co-founder R.B. Russell and the South Yorkshire press ‘And Other Stories’ for the launch of Fifty Forgotten Books, in which the author takes us on a guided tour through the wonderful, macabre and obscure books that make up his legendary collection – and the sadly vanishing breed of second-hand booksellers from whom he acquired them.
Join us on the 29th September at 6:30pm to celebrate the publication of this wonderfully warm love letter to a literary life well-lived and a rich exploration of forgotten histories of book-collecting and selling in Britain.
The event will feature short readings from R.B. Russell and his Tartarus Press co-publisher Rosalie Parker, followed by a chance for discussion and of course the opportunity to purchase a signed first edition of the book. Refreshments will be provided. Tickets are free, but limited so please go ahead and book at your earliest convenience. BOOK HERE
We look forward to seeing you!
