Letters written by whom? If you don't mind me asking... A bookseller friend just bid on a library that includes correspondence between Yeats and the library owner's aunt. He's assured me he'll call me first if he gets them. Cranford looks like a tough slog, but what nice illustrations! The diary is interesting. Reading that is time travel. I sold a couple of books when I had my shop that were novels written in the 1870s. They were rather badly written, but the characters were mostly Irish immigrants, and the dialogue reflected the idiom of 1870s Irish New York. I really wish I had kept those, and several others I let slip through. I still wince when I think of the beautiful 1840s botanical I sold to some guy on the west coast. Nice to be a collector again, and not a mercenary.
