PROMO: What Is the Future of the Book? Star Trek Edition, Part 3

We take a closer look at one storyline using Leslie Howsam's four-point  definition of the book in Part 2 of our Star Trek-themed episodes. In  "The Royale" (Season 2, Episode 12 of Next Generation), the Enterprise  investigates a planet after finding debris from a NASA shuttle and three  crew members enter the plot of a second-rate novel. The sad history of  astronaut Colonel Richie surfaces along with his diary and a copy of Hotel Royale,  which the crew uses to escape from this weird world of alien atonement.  Bookish elements abound in this episode! Listen to our discussion and  play along with our game of Star Trek Mad Libs! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/biblio-banter/message

Episode 11: Font or Digital Humanities - special edition

In 1822, when Thomas Frognall Dibdin’s account of George John Earl Spencer’s mansion (castle?) was published, he wrote: …sofas, chairs, tables, of every commodious form, are of course liberally scattered throughout the room. The bay-window looks into the pleasure-garden, or rather into a luxuriant shrubbery; where both serpentine and straight walks invite to a ramble among larches elms and oaks…Upon the whole, if must be confessed that this room, both within and from without, has a character peculiarly BOOKISH – and such as we might suppose to belong to a well-endowed monastery. - from Thomas Frognall Dibdin, Aedes Althorpianae: or An Account of the Mansion, Books, and Pictures, At Althorp; The Residence of George John Earl Spencer, K.G. to which is added A Supplement to the Bibliotheca Spenceriana (London: Shakespeare Press, 1822), I, 20-31). Thankfully, in order to be bookish, a place doesn’t have to resemble a “well-endowed monastery”, in fact, private libraries and book collecting (bibliomania, in fact) became quite the rage in the late 1800s – and the propensity for all the trappings of the “bookish” has continued into our times. In today’s episode of Biblio Banter we discuss some of our favorite bookish places, and play “Would You Rather…” from the places noted in the advertising pamphlet for the Atlas Obscura book Atlas Obscura: An Explorer’s Guide to the World’s Hidden Wonders. Biblio Banter was created by the four of us to spread our enthusiasm and interest in the field of book history/book studies. It is a labor of love.
