If you could find a transcript of this exchange, I think your library students might find it very informative reading.

I am very grateful to all contributors for the excellent suggestions of readings on this subject that have turned up on the list in recent days. > > I would be very interested to learn about any other courses touching on the antiquarian book trade in any context.
