Forwarding from Marissa Sangiacomo: My name is Marissa and I'm with St. Martin's Press Publishing, a division of Macmillan. I'm reaching out about a fascinating novel I'm working on called *The Bookbinder's Secret <https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250412645/thebookbinderssecret/>, *which follows a young bookbinder who discovers a confession hidden beneath the binding of a burned book that reveals a story of forbidden love, lost fortune, and murder. What begins as a diverting intrigue quickly becomes a dangerous pursuit that may cost her everything. Author A. D. Bell provides rich descriptions of the bookbinding processes of the turn of the century and immerses readers in the world of eccentric booksellers, unscrupulous collectors, and the dusty archives of London's society papers. *The Bookbinder's Secret* is really a love letter to books and those who love them. I wondered if there may be an opportunity to share this book with the talented members of your Guild of Bookworkers, particularly those who specialize in bookbinding, restoration and design binding. I would love to send finished copies to any who would be interested in receiving one. If anyone is interested in receiving a copy, please email marissa.sangiacomo@stmartins.com with the subject line "Guild of Book Workers - The Bookbinders Secret Request" and include their name and mailing address. Best, Marissa Marissa Sangiacomo (she / her / hers) Director, Marketing & Advanced Reader Engagement | St. Martin's Publishing Group 120 Broadway, 26th floor | New York, NY 10271 --- This is a forwarded request. Please direct questions to the contact listed above. -- *Syd Webb * *Interim Communications Chair* Guild of Book Workers <https://guildofbookworkers.org/> | The National Organization for All the Book Arts communications@guildofbookworkers.org | 415.305.8111 | Pronouns (She/Her)
