I don't think it ever appeared. It is not in the BL catalogue.
A small nit-picky correction: Barton retreated to the Channel Islands as
a tax exile following the sale of his Truro city centre warehouse site.
Land was more profitable than books, I guess, although I don't think he
did too badly from those.
As far as I know he is still alive but I wonder if he has made any
provision for his papers.
