I was chatting to Ross McFarlane, who works at the Wellcome Library, and they have quite a few copies of this book there. The ones that they have are quite small. They're printed on very cheap paper.

Other times Wellcome Library came up
He still collects new ones, doesn't he? He goes around London because he's updating the collection all the time. Wow. What a coincidence that he works for the Welcome Library, which is also a place that collects things. Yeah. Is it? Is it advertised as part of the collection, or is it like once you've been around a relatively dry selection of old manuscripts, you might want a fun time at the end?
