Having had a chance to properly read this excellent history( i.e. get it printed).

I think she is spot on - The books project and the GBS makes little apparent economic sense.
The means ; ‘the registry’, has become the ‘end’ of the whole project.

Pamela Samuelson is a clear contender for this years ‘Oliver Sacks trophy’. Haven’t seen an essay with so many,often very interesting and recursive, footnotes in years.
