…there’s no point reading him unless it’s from a large, sumptuously bound book with smooth, silky pages and a crisp, beautiful font. And a few colour plates here and there, showing Flastaff with friends. In fact, that’s how I remember the Collected Works volume from childhood.

But all that costs money these days. What sad times we live in.
