I love old newspapers - but there's a reason I'm not supposed to do research before I do my proper work... *sighs*

I like the sound of your Great Newspapers Reprinted - I'd much rather read them on paper, too. I have newspapers from WWII tucked away actually, that came with the "Images of War" series about twenty or so years ago! Hmmn - I wonder if they included the classifieds in the reprints - I suspect not somehow, but I should check. Victorian classifieds etc. were so much more interesting, though! They make me think of Julian Lynes too, in Melissa Scott/Amy Griswold's Mathey/Lynes books, trawling the classifieds to see if anything would turn out to be a case for him to solve! *g* (I had to post the notices in their own post too, cos I suddenly thought how fun it'd be to think of them alongside pics of our Victorian lads... *g*)

So pleased you've seen the hangars too - aren't they the most amazing things? Airships in them! *g*

I didn't recognise George R. Sims' name at all - and you have books by him, how brilliant! You know, I imagine your bookshelves with much lust in my heart... *g*
