I teach, reseach, and practise in the area of complex book design, especially dictionaries.
Recent research/practice has included the redesign of the 5th and 6th editions of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary; design proposals for a major Irish–English dictionary; and (with Nadja Guggi) design proposals for a range of children's dictionaries.
Research and MA students I have supervised have worked on: script integration in Japanese–English dictionaries; design of undergraduate textbooks; little press publlishing in Britain after WW2
