If you collect words/books Littlestone, try to find Jacquetta Hawkes - Prehistoric and Roman Monuments in England and Wales, its still around. There's some Pepy's words on Stonehenge in there.

Hawkes who once said "Every generation gets the Stonehenge it deserves" now that statement could do with some unravelling!

How about - every generation gets the Stonehenge the previous generation screwed up?

Thanks moss, will do.

By the way, and going back to something on a different thread, have you read William Morris' The Wood Beyond the World? I picked up a Dover Publications facsimile of the Kelmscott Press edition about 30 years ago for just a few pounds. It's printed on good quality paper that hasn't aged at all - don't know if it's still available though. The cover is paperback which doesn't really do it justice.

Don't know if it's of any interest but I took the book to Cyprus a couple of years ago. There's a little bookbinder in one of the back streets of Limassol who half-bound it in leather using papers he'd marbled himself for the rest of the cover and endpapers. It now looks really beautiful and only cost just over £40 to have rebound. If anyone's heading for Cyprus anytime and is thinking of having a treasured book rebound let me know and I'll send the contact details.

I was reading that again yesterday.
There is a photo of Silbury with a hole in the top from 1930's
