Excellent additions! Thanks for sharing! I also have a copy of d’Ardenne’s Liflade arriving soon, though not a first edition. That’s a great find.

Thanks, Predictable Matt!

Fantastic items Emilien! Your collection is progressing quite well. 😁

That's awesome Emilien, love seeing that New English Grammar Jacket.

Congratulations Emilien.

That Oliphaunt was quite an excellent find. Not many of these in existence I think.

Some great items, well done.

Great additions as usual! Awesome find on the Wrights' Grammar - that is very cool to see.

Thank you all :)

Excellence again Emilien!
