Good find in the Fifteenth Century Bookshop in Lewes (a few doors down from Tom Paine‘s house, and up the hill from the best brewery in the country) yesterday:

Not bad for a little over a tenner – and it’ll go nicely with this old find (considering I’ve got the second volume too, both are in good condition, and these 6-inch pocket versions from 1820 are rather rare, probably the most valuable in the modest collection):

Combined with a rather fine turkey and sizable quantities of booze, a rather fine Christmas all round.

Best brewery in the country! Indeed sir you are a man of taste and discretion! I used to work in Lewes and nothing much got done Friday afternoons!

It's definitely among the best. There are some other cracking good breweries around the coutry though.
