I notice that we share a lot of interests in common, especially Dickens and Victorian literature. Your collection of Dickensiana is very impressive, and I am intrigued by several of your recent additions, notably the Forster biography and the miscellaneous papers.
Nice picture of your library too!

Looked up this book on Amazon.com - a single copy available at $178! Looking at the books we share it seems surprising that most of it is literature. I will look up some of your plant exploration titles - just hope that they do not come with the same extravagant price tags!
