I’m enjoying this. I wonder who determined literary merit or otherwise 🤣
c. 150 books judged to be pornographic but possessing literary merit; c. 150 examples of early English printing; over 40 examples of important association copies and books with MS notes; over 110 albums and volumes containing original photographs.
