My current favourite website
The British Library
I've learned so much! Elizabeth Blackwell's "A Curious Herbal"; Caxton's first English printing (It was Canterbury Tales, btw); the difference between folio, quarto, and octavo (although I wish they'd explain how they're folded); the Diamond Sutra... Fun, fun, fun!
(And for anyone wondering, I did get some fic writing done today before visiting the library. I've just stalled out until I can check some things on the DVDs. And I've done a bit of poking about for other publishers for my story. Thanks, K-Bob!)
