I am honoured to be part of the Volume Tied and Bound: A Comparative View on Manuscript Binding published by De Gruyter with my contribution: Guṭakās from North-Western India: An Introduction to Their Structures and Materials. It is in open-access and includes many fascinating articles on the different traditions of bookbinding. My paper explores the physical aspects of Hindu devotion manuscripts from the 18th to the 20th centuries as well as their uses and significance.
