I already posted the following to the Exlibris mailing list, and didn't get
anything very solid in reply, so I thought I'd give it a whirl here, in case
anyone's got any useful suggestions:

Repost from Exlibris archives:
____________________________________________

I would very much appreciate any leads at all which might help me with the
following:

A colleague informs me that, years ago, when he was working on Frank Mott
Harrison's papers in Bedford Public Library, he found a note attached to a
sale catalogue from 1929 that suggested that a copy of Isaac Ambrose's Prima
was covered with Bunyan's marginal notes. Apparently, the purchaser then cut
up the seventy-odd pages and distributed them to his friends! According to
Harrison, five of these fragments were recovered and placed in the Central
Library in Manchester, but the library apears to have no record of this.

I am extremely interested in all of this. However, even if I had access to
Harrison's papers, my informant has only his recollection of the
information, with no record of the exact source.

Any information about the book in question, the sale catalogue, the
purchaser, and the present whereabouts of any of these leaves would be gold
dust to me!

Looks good, John, but I have one word for you: Brodart. Man, get those
jackets into some mylar protection.

Hmm. I wanted people to see the jackets as they really were, so I carefully
removed the Brodart covers before taking the pictures, and carefully
replaced them afterwards!

BTW, your suggestion about the Victorian women (giving 'em a page each, with
a contents page of links) didn't go unheeded; I plan to do that - and add
pictures of many of the items - but it's another mammoth task that' ll have
to wait until the next vacation.
