Re the book - we thought it might have been quite rare, (as it was numbered 50/245),  and proposed giving it to a library somewhere.  But it seems that many libraries have it - I don't know if it would be available for loan - (the book we have isn't in very good repair - needs rebinding and the silverfish have made a meal of the first and last pages). 

Try a library though.  You might strike it lucky.

Hi Carolyn,
Gosh that is amazing, it looks like it was taken yesterday instead of a hundred years ago.
I'm really pleased, thank you so much.
