[Bell Historians] Kingsmead Reprints

[Alan F. Ellis]

Hello Anne and David,

Thank you both for your assistance with info on Kingsmead Reprints.

And, thank you Anne for pointing me to 'UKBookWorld.com'.  They had a 
couple of old books which were of interest.  I'll have to keep my eye on 
them.

The reason for my wanting to contact Kingsmead Reprints was to ask for 
their blessing for me to print a facsimile copy of Tintinnalogia, Second 
Edition, 1671.  Although it will not be a copy of Kingsmead's 1668 
edition, the only difference is the first page!    I was doing this as a 
courtesy to them.  However, if they are no longer in business, I guess 
that any further attempts to contact them would be redundant.

Negotiations with the Bodleian library for a facsimile copy are well 
advanced.   Although sales might not be exceptional, my usual 50 copies 
should be worthwhile.
The sales price should be around GBP40.00.
 
'Thackrah' is being bound as I write.

Best wishes

Alan Ellis
