[QUOTE="krispy, post: 994563, member: 19065"]What a great thread and some wonderful comments being expressed. I wholly concur with these sentiments. I learned of the following (below) title about a year ago and in my search for a printed copy, discovered it in facsimile on Google Books. I hardly refer to it online but love leafing through the old gilt pages of the copy I was able to acquire. It's so much more enriching to peek at the old statistics and figures set in tiny type flanked by the engraved illustrations and it's very special to be able to own and learn from such books.
