“Travels into Print” at the publisher’s stand.<\/p><\/div>\n

My interest in William Macintosh began in 2008 as part of an AHRC-funded research project<\/a> investigating the publication of travel texts by the London firm John Murray (from the late-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century). Macintosh’s book was, in the context of that project, but one of approximately 240 texts of extra-European travel which fell under our consideration. The findings of that research project were published today by the University of Chicago Press under the title Travels into print: exploration, writing, and publishing with John Murray, 1773\u20131859<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

My co-authors\u2014Charles W. J. Withers and Bill Bell\u2014and I submitted the proposal for\u00a0Travels<\/em>\u00a0on 22 January 2010 (exactly 5 years and 3 months ago).\u00a0Having lived with the book’s writing, editing, and publication\u00a0for more than half a decade, it was a real thrill to see the printed artefact\u00a0today in the exhibition hall at the annual meeting of the Association of American Geographers in Chicago. Conference delegates are able to pick up a copy of the book at a specially discounted rate of $36.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
