Last night I collected the Cantemir Prize from Prince Radu of Romania on behalf of the Berendel Foundation for
The Map Reader. It was a small, but very nice event in Trinity College, Oxford University. Lots of very nice things were said about the book. I had a quick skim of it myself on the train down from Birmingham. I think I'm going to have to re-read it, as it contains a heap of interesting essays. Strange how you forget work you wrote and put together! Wiley-Blackwell really did an excellent job with the production - it has the look and feel of a nice book. After a couple of speeches I received a handcrafted diploma (based on a 1920s royal design) in a beautiful leather bound folder, both made in Bucharest. If you click on the diploma photo, you should get a better view of it. Off to the conference now, which should be interesting.
