someone please tell me exactly what a facsimile edition is? and i apologise if thats a stoopid question.

surely it is just an edition which is like a photocopy of each page of the original (well, not literally a photocopy, but you know what i mean) ie reproduces exactly the original page layout etc?

Yes, a faithful reproduction of a printed bk OR manuscript.

this is a bit silly.

afaik, you don't have to be a special academic 'hipster' to go to humanities 2, and you only got to rare books if the book you've ordered up is -- yes, really -- rare. there are lots of hott girls in H1 tho, but let's not make a big thing of it.

"I met my three last boyfriends in the British Library," says Glaser. "You're working in the abstract, sharing space with these people who you cannot imagine existing in the world outside, and the sexual and personal life is repressed for most of the day. But believe me, when it comes out, it comes out with a vengeance."

ew.
