You are right, I am wrong.
I was looking at a partial list of works, notably having the Tempest Twins as written by a US author.
I will fix this.

Thanks for the encouraging words, but I've just found out today that while I thought I was fixing things I was really just making a mess. The 50th Anniversary Edition is just a re-issue of the original books so it should be combined with them; the 2nd Edition is the new updated version that should be separated. So I need to go re-combine everything, separate as appropriate again, and correct all the series, canonical title, and disambiguation notices. Sigh. And then someone will come along and combine them all again.

Hi, I just uploaded a cover for "Jacqueline du Pré - A biography", by Carol Easton. Thought you'd like to know since there are only three of us who share it.

I see you have Hart's Notes on a Century. Is this the 1900 original or Harry Carter's 1970 reprint?
And you also have Martyn Ould's Stanley Morison and John Fell. He's working on a treatise on the Fell Flowers (in very few copies). Are you getting that, too?

Sharing a book on the Andover Workhouse is pretty unusual. I ended up studying history partly thanks to all those workhouse scandals and the fact that there was one on the old London to Portsmouth Road near where I lived as a child!
