It must have taken a lot of work to select the cuttings and make the 400 volumes.

 

It's good that you have found this source helpful and hopefully others will.

 

Cheers

Yes, I noticed that some pages consisted of cuttings, rather than reproductions of original newspaper pages.

 

Exploring them took me back to my days of detailed research - which in recent years has just been ticking over. And it's prompted me to start one thread that has involved several others to become intrigued.
