With the arrival of 2018 comes all sorts of bibliocentric events. One Philadelphia-based soirée to put on your calendar is the Rosenbach Library’s Bibliococktail hour on Friday, January 12th in honor of the 200th anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. (Be sure to check out Jonathan Shipley’s cover story in the winter issue of Fine Books & Collections dedicated to the bicentennial.)
Held on the second Friday of each month, the Bibliococktail series is dedicated to celebrating great literature while quaffing light libations created especially for the occasion by local distiller and distributor Quaker City Mercantile.
This 21+ event is free for Delancey Society members, and tickets (available here) start at $15 for Rosenbach members, $30 for general admission.
