@TheJohnRylands @JohnHodgsonUoM Thank you, John, for the intelligence, generosity and good cheer you have brought to the Rylands. A tremendous collection but also a wonderfully human place & so much of that has been down to you. Sessions there were the highlight of my time teaching in Manchester. So grateful!
