April 29, 2022 I've been wanting to make a proper scan of Haywards Ltd's Years of Reflection for ages but couldn't due to the binding of my nice copy, so I found another copy in worse shape (missing dust jacket, faded cover, etc) which I could deconstruct to scan properly (without sin). As a bonus, it also had the the insert that my nicer copy was missing. So, new library addition: Years of Reflection 1783-1953, Haywards Ltd, 1953. I also updated the transcribed version with improved images.
