I've learned a lot just from preparation for making posts of books on Mobileread! That's not to mention the enlightening comments that people sometimes make after I've made the posts.

Do you remember a few days ago you posted a book from the Petrie museum of Egyptology? That's a part of UCL; Sir Flinders Petrie was the first professor of Egyptology at UCL. UCL was also, as a matter of interest, the first British university to admit, and award degrees to, women.
