I haven't even looked at my friends page yet, today. ( preparing to go to Florida )
I got the book I ordered from Abebooks - Emily Eden's "Up The Country: Letters to her sister from the upper provinces of India"! Unfortunately it turns out that it's volume 2 of 2 - that wasn't at all clear to me when I was ordering it - but it should be interesting reading, regardless. I wonder if I should write to the seller and ask if he has volume 1, also? I think I should read it in the open air, though, as it appears to be a first edition with all the dust intact. Not for reading on the plane.
