It’s a morning for book lovers at the National Library: twin tales of book collectors and book binders. Gail Holmes’s debut novel, In the Margins, is drawn from the life of Frances Wolfreston, the woman who preserved the earliest part of Shakespeare’s legacy. She joins Pip Williams, whose latest novel, The Bookbinder of Jericho, explores another little-known slice of bookish history - the bindery at Oxford University Press. In conversation with Nicole Abadee.
