What a wonderful work of love to post all these books. Thank you. I am considering opening the first as a project next week. :thumbs:

It doesn't stop them being used, but many Haithi trust books are only available in North America, odd in this case as she died in 1923 and the first one is blocked for me and the second not :hmm: though it may be published date of the scan used. :?:

Hmm that is odd :hmm: I couldn’t find it anywhere else but maybe someone else will find a scan that is available to everyone

And I’m glad you found one of the books interesting, Phil! :D
