I came across professor Troy when she was the featured guest on German public radio April 10th, 2002, and yes, I was impressed. If only we had more writers/teachers like her…

]]> Comment on Jamie Kamph. Tricks of the Trade: Confessions of a Bookbinder. Kristina Lundblad. Bound to be Modern: Publishers’ Cloth Bindings and the Material Culture of the Book, 1840–1914 by Terrie Reddish https://sharpweb.org/sharpnews/2017/09/07/tricks-of-the-trade-bound-to-be-modern/#comment-184 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 21:19:02 +0000 https://sharpweb.org/sharpnews/?p=1133#comment-184 I am the editor of the New Zealand national bookbinding organisation and I publish an online newsletter every quarter.

I was alerted to an article in Sharp News written by Jeff Peachey:
https://sharpweb.org/sharpnews/2017/09/07/tricks-of-the-trade-bound-to-be-modern/
I would like permission to reprint your article in our next newsletter please?

I have already written to Jeff and he suggested I contact you as he didn’t think he owned the copyright on this article.
Having read Jeff’s cautionary article and realised that I recommended Jamie Kamph’s Tricks of the Trade: Confessions of a Bookbinder book in an earlier edition of our newsletter, I would very much to balance up the advice.

Thank you very much for your consideration

]]> Comment on The Pulp Magazines Project by davide dana https://sharpweb.org/sharpnews/2017/07/07/pulp-magazines-project/#comment-123 Wed, 03 Feb 2021 18:07:49 +0000 https://sharpweb.org/sharpnews/?p=1048#comment-123 Mr Saunders, good morning. I beg your pardon for my not excellent english, I am writing from Italy. I am the admin of the website http://www.pulpmagazines.org, active on the Internet from February 2018. I have endeavoured to add a great number of pulp magazines listed in alphabetical order and ready to be read; my goal is to insert and make available for reading all the “pulps” nowadays obtainable online; I am also restoring the covers and the back pages.The amount of the issues surpasses now that of the site Pulpmags, and is constantly growing. I was wondering if you could take a look at my website and possibly post a comment on Sharp News about it. In case, thanks in advance. Best regards.

A History of the Spanish Novel by Luis Gómez https://sharpweb.org/sharpnews/2016/07/04/a-garrido-ardila-ed-a-history-of-the-spanish-novel/#comment-94 Sun, 20 Sep 2020 17:17:42 +0000 https://sharpweb.org/sharpnews/?p=176#comment-94 Poor, unfair review of a great volume. I use this History of the Spanish Novel in my undergraduate and postgraduate classes, and my students love it. Clear, informative, superb.

My students love it. The chapters are top quality and the introduction offers a clear and helpful explanation of the development of Spanish fiction. It is hard to understand the objections the reviewer makes, particularly his questioning the received conception of aesthetics. A great book and a funny review.
