It's just a mention really but I couldn't resist the opportunity to 'copy' and reprint it, I suppose that makes it a reuse, of a reuse, of a reuse ...

I used that very pamphlet image in my chapter in Ferlier & Miyamoto's 'Forms, Formats & Circulation of Knowledge' volume (Brill, 2020) as an example of the copying/piracy question, my main focus was reuse of the Bills of Mortality

I think that would help but not solve the problem as with each increase landlords simply increase their rents to match. Some form of rent control is I think the only answer.

Trouble was the dealer in question was at the other end of the country. So yes currently in storage and costing us money. And dont even get me started on his paintings...

Exactly that, even coming up with a broad estimate so I could sensibly talk to dealers took significant time. Yes one or two have some real value, but they are still not super rare so the time needed to sell them, well I simply don't have it.

It's a difficult thing. I've tried to sell my father's books, he was an artist. I estimate they are worth at least 2-3k but the only dealer interested offered £250, if I delivered them. We've decided to put book plates in them & randomly leave them in cafes etc rather than skip them
