Sorry to hear about Ian's death. Good to know he donated his workto the library. It sounds like a fascinating and extremely useful collection. Thanks so much for telling us about it, Jim.

Hello Jim, The information about Ian is very interesting, I know nothing more about him and being a soft southerner I suppose that is not unusual. I have just looked at the blog you mentioned and it seems that he was a remarkable man. I thought my mania for collecting local information was high but it pales into insignificance in comparison.
