All I can say Deb, is that i wish that I could own these and, will a Kindle screen in the far flung future be able to command such prices or indeed any interest at all ?
“Long live books!! Long live the revolution!! ”

Ah yes Tony – maybe all the Austen bloggers could pool their resources, buy the thing and give it to Chawton House Library??
Long live your 1960s political leanings! – did we meet in London in 1968 rioting about something?
And of course, long live BOOKS – where would I be if the world only read their kindles?
