John Symons

Many readers of this blog will have met or corresponded with John Symons, who was a librarian at the Wellcome Library for many years and the Library's specialist on early printed books. As reported here at the time, John died in 2009 and an obituary of him has now been published in Medical History. [1]

In addition to publication on paper, the obituary, like the rest of the journal, is available online via PubMedCentral, as pdf or as text.
