Thanks to a couple of generous readers, we now have some further examples of egregiously deaccessioned books to give away: these things belong in the hands of people who will actually cherish them. There are six items. As usual, just retweet this message to enter the raffle; first name gets first pick etc.; draw on Friday evening @ 8pm GMT.
First up is Eduard Fraenkel’s copy of Verrall’s Agamemnon, which he inscribed to his guru J.D. Beazley. It contains a roughly 70-page manuscript of his notes for his infamous Oxford Seminars. If you can read old-fashioned German handwriting (clearly librarians can't...) then do take a look!

This speech is full of half-truths, distortions, misleading claims and outright lies.
Basically living up to every meme, trope and unfair stereotype, of Americans being ignorant morons.
I'll go through each of the claims he made in this segment and what the actual facts are. /1
'In Britain and across Europe free speech, I fear, is in retreat'
US Vice President JD Vance spoke at the Munich security conference and took a swipe at Brussels, Germany, Sweden and the UK.
