Despite how much I was loving Possession, and I truly, truly was, I sat it aside awhile ago. Too much else going on, and burned out eyes at the end of my work days. I do, however, need to keep reading for work, and this is a fantastic place to start: Jo Miles volunteers in the Archive, is a totally decent, good man, and this book seems a good intro into putting the documents I’ve been digitizing into proper historical context. I bought it off Amazon, and I’ll have to get him to autograph it at some point :)
