Oh oh. I feel an actual money spend coming on, as opposed to my usual trip to the library. Or I'll actually have an item to put on the Christmas list my taller half requests every December. It sounds thoroughly enjoyable, Shaun, and may sales go through the roof.

Congratulations! I’m sure compiling this required tremendous thoughtfulness about how they would read and flow given such diverse sources.

Any entries from Indian diary writers? Nehru, Gandhi and many other Indians were prolific diary keepers, too.

This is brilliant!!

What a clever and important project...history unfolds not just through facts and statistics, but perceptions and imagination.
