Recently published books aren’t accessible either as they are not covered by the interim catalogue, again a particular challenge for people without university affiliation. This means that several projects are on hold to complete until access is fully restored.

As a regular BL reader (often 2 or 3 days a week) I appreciate greatly the huge effort staff have put in to providing as much help as possible, conscious of the extra time this takes. Unless one has university affiliation, however, ebooks and many periodicals not on JStor are inaccessible.

Many thanks for this, on the strength of which I ordered two copies yesterday.

Many thanks for a wonderful post - of particular interest to me for its reference to my beloved great uncle Courtenay Crickmer. He lived in Letchworth (Elmscott in reference to William Morris) but my mother and family lived for many years in Gidea Park.
