[Catherine Hollis]

Dear Woolf Community,

Two pieces of exciting news from women in the rare books world. First,
Honey and Wax Books in New York have established a $1000 book collecting
prize for women under 30 (see image and details below). Deadline June 1.
Please share with your students and friends (and check out the collections
of past winners).

More details here: https://www.honeyandwaxbooks.com/prize.php

Also, A.N. Devers of The Second Shelf in London reported today on twitter
that their shop is now in possession of Vanessa Bell's signed copy of
Woolf's *The Voyage Out*. Devers reports that this book "was found in a
tomato box in France."
