My second edition Peck with dust jacket cost me £12 from a secondhand bookshop in Abergavenny in the early ‘80’s, when I was a junior doctor in the local hospital, and freshly married (same wife). It seemed expensive to me then, when I was buying lustrous Victorian pennies for a few pounds from Lloyd Bennett in the Tuesday market. The book is still in my bookcase, but I use a ‘reading copy’ without dj that I acquired somewhere since. Jerry

Same applies. Still a recent phenomenon. A fraction of a mm difference in character size or spacing isn't an in your face thing that people who only want an example or two of a type are likely to notice. Variety collection is almost exclusively driven by literature, not from a desire to do the basic research. Nerds in every field have always been the exception to the masses, but until pen is put to paper, their research is shared only by a few interested people that bounce ideas off each other. They are the only people likely to have a big enough database of examples.

yes , what did it come out as ? lol that must have been an auto correction although no doubt the Samarian Ware is lovely too

What's the difference between ignorance and apathy? I don't know and I don't care.

Some heathen humour 😁

I just did an Amazon product review, and got this in reply. I mean, are they truly having a larf, or what?
