A Book About Ghost Signs
I am on the editorial panel for a book due for publication next year. Although it will be too late to find a place on the shelf at Bath’s Circulating Library (above), the topic for the book is ghost signs with the working title of ‘Ghost Signs: Historical, Social and Cultural Perspectives on Fading Advertising’. Full details, including the call for abstracts, can be found on this page which will be updated as the project progresses.
