What a great time we had tonight at the book launch of Prof. Thornton's book. Loads of friends, colleagues and students stopped by to celebrate this great new addition to the study of Victorian literature which as Prof. Thornton puts it was the beginning of the virtual world. And if you want to know more about that, you'll have to get a copy of her book which was eagerly snapped up tonight!
Here's a shot of some of the happy people in the store...

Everyone was in high spirits, mingling and partaking of the bubbly! Lots of the sparkly heady stuff was opened tonight thanks to a great friend of RWB...
The proud author with her lovely book ...
Penelope with Prof. Colin Jones, whose book on the history of Paris is one of our best sellers! Hidden behind is his wife, Josephine McDonagh . Together with Jon Mee, they are currently working on a new book titled "Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities and the French Revolution". Hmmm....this may be another launch in the making.... 
Don't you just love our window? I tell you, it may look easy but creating a window, a good one at least, is an artform! Check out Carol Fisher Saller's book sitting proudly next to Prof. Thornton's.
Which reminds me......the reading for The Subversive Copy Editor is tomorrow at 3PM!
See you there!
See you there!

I understand! And yes it was great! We have a lot of readings coming up in June. I hope you'll be able to attend one (or all if you want) of them! Penelope was wondering why she hadn't seen you in awhile.
