Dear Mr Thompson I am not clear from your latest email whether you have actually bought the four volumes of Pinney from Palgrave. But it is worth pointing out that both volumes 1 and 2 - and from time to time the other two - are often availablem second-hand through www.abebooks.com Prices for 1 and 2 range currently from $15.00 to $38.00 All good wishes, John Radcliffe
