Dispatches from Biblioll College
Biblioll College, Boze, Daniel Murphy, the little seamstress, Dana RailWe are a group of lifelong library-learners who, like Hardy's Jude, wish they'd studied at Oxford, but couldn't. Ergo, we've learned to make do with piles of books. We blog about books, culture, Oxford, and the quest for knowledge, by hook or crook.
