I've got a question for manor house books. Somebody I know has a copy of Poems by Elizabeth Barrett Browning published by Miles & Miles of Foresters Hall Clerkenwell she's convinced, because she hasn't found a copy on any of the sites I can't mention here, that she has got a rare and valuable copy which she is keen for me to sell. I've checked the publishers and found a couple of books published by them in the 1900s which make me think listing this book is not worth the effort. However, and this is the key point for her, the book has a printed dedication by EBB to her father dated 1844 so it must be an early edition! If you have any idea of a publication date and any more information about this edition I'd be overjoyed to hear from you. I'm not disparaging old ladies and their finds as I've done quite well out of some of them but this book just doesn't ring true.
