From 1995, as a young scholar, SHARP has been an important step in my career as a book historian I am currently working on the book business in 'Dutch East Indies', the name that the Dutch gave to Indonesia in the colonial era. I also work on the history of literary publishing in the 19th-21st century in the Netherlands. Other fields of interest are authorship, World War II, libraries, and other reading facilities. Since 2001 I have been Professor of Book Studies at the University of Amsterdam, attending almost every SHARP conference since then and, with a group of enthusiastic Dutch book historians, organized the annual conference in 2022 in Amsterdam. I’m also the editor-in-chief of the book historical journal Quaerendo, published by Brill. I hope I can help SHARP by joining the Board, by giving advice and representing a part of the non-English speaking countries. I would like to help book historians around the world to feel welcome in SHARP, especially those from countries that are under-represented..
