Its definitely worth a read, but one's confidence in what you are being told does rather slip when the second sentence has an error ([i]Books and Naturalists is number 111 in the never-ending series[/i] etc etc), and one is then told that the leather bound volumes are "a publisher's money-spinning idea borrowed from the Star Wars memorabilia market". Apparently a full set now costs "as much as the National debt". I bet the incumbents of Numbers 10 and 11 Downing Street wish that were the case!Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:50:01 GMTHengusThe Naturalist's Library - major article in the Apr 2010 Book and Magazine Collectorhttp://www.newnaturalists.com/Forums/Topic548-16-1.aspxThere's a major 17pp article (including valuations) in the Apr 2010 Book and Magazine Collector on the Naturalist's Library (1833-1843) [and their similarities with (and differences to) the NN series].<br><br>Also a competition in the magazine, and online (although it doesn't appear to be up yet as I write) www.ccofgb.co.uk to win copies of NN112.<br><br>The article is pseudonymously written by 'betweenthelines', a 'south coast collector and commentator who is not always on the side of dealers'. He runs this website http://www.anewlookatoldbooks.com/blog/ (and no I don't know who he is, but am intrigued!)Mon, 08 Mar 2010 12:20:56 GMTHengus
