The following online booksellers and auctioneers of ephemera have provided me with many of my older books, illustrations and articles -- I recommend them highly or I wouldn't list them here. The advent of the Internet as an international marketplace has made my research possible without requiring me to move to London. Not that I think I'd mind.
