I only bought this book a few months ago after looking for it for years. Ended up shelling out quite a chunk of change for my copy. But no DJ on mine. Luckily managed to find this nifty illustration at the Facsimile Dust Jackets website. Otherwise this post would've been illustrated with the two maps included inside the book.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-53244763549685593452015-02-06T02:55:29.102-06:002015-02-06T02:55:29.102-06:00This sounds like a wonderfully bizarre hodgepodge ...This sounds like a wonderfully bizarre hodgepodge of styles. Just been re-reading some Wallace so might very well be in the mood - I bet it's not easy to find though ... Thanks as ever for the infectious enthusiasm and the great info about that Potter's museum - who knew?!Sergio (Tipping My Fedora)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00819072625907181179noreply@blogger.com
