The book was out of interest. I've chased it up at the University Library
in Cambridge and they've ordered it as it hasn't yet come in on deposit.
I'll write to the list once I've had a look at it.

I've chased up some notes from the Bridgeman/Corel re-enactment. I was
interested to see what the participants thought might happen if the case
went to court in the UK. The Bridgeman Library are going to post videos of
the event on their website and will hopefully forward me an assortment of
materials. Again, I'll report back with news!

Regards,
