Guardian Australia has published a profile of Professor Wallace Kirsop, 92, honorary member of ANZAAB and doyen of Australian bibliography.
One of Australia's foremost authorities on rare books, Professor Kirsop reflects on the value of handling original printed works, often overlooked in the age of digital collections. It is not just the contents of books that can inform us, but also their makers, buyers, readers, and physical forms. Naturally, this is a subject close to ANZAAB's heart!
