SUMMARY:The British Book Trade and the Book War of 1906
DESCRIPTION:With Dr Maria Vassilopoulos (University of Wales Press) \n\n\n\nMaria Vassilopoulos has worked as a bookseller\, for The Bookseller magazine and in publishing sales for her whole career\, spanning over twenty years. She currently works for University of Wales Press as Global Sales Manager and Head of Sales and Marketing. \n\n\n\nVassilopoulos has a PhD from UCL in Book Trade History and is currently writing a short monograph about the Book War to be published by CUP. She is also author of of An Evening with the Book Society and archivist for them and the Society of Young Publishers. She is a trustee of the Book Trade Charity.   \n\n\n\nThe British Book Trade and the Book War of 1906: Vassilopoulos will reminisce about the first time she encountered an event called the ‘Book War’ in 2015\, when she was working on the eventual topic of her PhD thesis. Her discovery of this microhistory enabled her to conduct archival research and media analysis to tell a fuller story of the dispute between the Publishers’ Association and The Times Book Club. There will be an explanation of this so-called war and its relation to the Net Book Agreement of 1900\, followed by Vassilopoulos’s findings from her research\, which she believes cement it as an event that matters to the scholarly record of book trade history and\, most importantly\, the Net Book Agreement.  \n\n\n\nZoom link: https://ucl.zoom.us/j/98063967186?pwd=daa3MXuKqIxhi4bywijmmnuYYk0reN.1 \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 980 6396 7186 \n\n\n\nPasscode: 294860
