After more than 10 years of successfully promoting Maltese publications via its virtual bookshop, Malta Online Bookshop recently hosted its first event, a literary soiree, which was held at Luciano’s restaurant in Valletta.
During this event, guest speaker Robert Thake, author of the recent publication Patriotism, Deception and Censorship, delivered a talk about the trials and trepidations involved when hunting down and acquiring antique Maltese publications.
His talk was, heavily illustrated through a number of choice editions currently for sale at the Malta Online Bookshop, including a seven-volume edition of Vertot’s popular Histoire des Chevaliers Hospitaliers, Brydone’s renowned Tour Through Sicily and Malta and Mikiel Anton Vassalli’s famous Grammatica.
Following the hour-long talk, the guests mingled with the speaker and one another in discussion over the fine selection of modern and antique books which were on display and currently for sale via www.maltaonlinebookshop.com.
