[1] For full details of each of the available books, please click on the individual titles spread across five pages in the store catalogue linked above. We shall be working on adding more provided that there is sufficient demand.
The previously operational DVD store is provisionally closed owing to the supplies and equipment needed to fulfil orders being out of service following international relocation. We have been advised that many new computers no longer contain DVD drives and compatibility issues have therefore precluded some customers from purchasing the DVDs. The individual files on the DVDs have therefore all now been made available as paid downloads without the need for postage instead.
[2] Owing to an exceptionally high backlog of work during early-to-mid 2026, the library is closed to visitors until September 2026. Visits may thereafter be requested by serious researchers only – this is not a library for casual browsers or tourists. Supervised library visits take significant advance preparation and are a discretionary service on application. Donations to cover the time cost of downtime from paid work can make it easier.
Hello, Chris!
Just found your message now.
I’d be glad to look at pictures so I can give you a ballpark idea of value. There would be no charge for this. I’d need to establish which edition and what printing it is.
The dating on the holder is curious, since there was no 18th century edition so far as I’m aware, only 16th and 17th century ones.
You can email pictures to me directly at solger75 [at] gmail.com if wished.
Thank you,
Philip
Hi James, yes, it’s me, and I certainly remember you very well. I’ve been offline in Sweden most of the last week, just back again. So nice to hear from you again. Have often wondered what happened to you since we you were last active on the old group. Look forward to catching up more soon!
Sorry Philip for taking so long, hi Christopher.. I checked back about a week later and no change then life happens and I forgot til now .. I remember thinking this might be months before I might see a reply lol
This would be alot simpler via gmail vs a board that doesn’t alert
