Borrowed but paid for!,

The Gothic Revival, by Chris Brookes,proved to be well written, relevant and, for my Open University studies on course AA100, an extremely informative, interesting and useful guide for my essay on Pugin. And, yes I did give full references and an extensive bibliography! I was somewhat surprised, however, to note that it appears to remain the property of Hampshire County Council County Library. Does Amazon ever check this sort of thing? Given the necessary postage (which exceeded the cost of the book) I will of course return it to whence it came.
