BOOKNESS at the Bodleian Library

The Bodleian Library in Oxford has books. Lots of books. But also books that don’t look like books. Books that self-destruct. Books that decay. Join librarian Jo Maddocks and conservator Alice Evans to explore the wonderful world of the Bodleian’s artists’ books and discover what makes a book a book. This podcast is for book lovers, book nerds and book makers. Brought to you by the Bodleian Library’s Centre for the Study of the Book.
