Congratulations on getting this up. The Chinese edition of my book on Hart and his Carrrall women friends, published in 2012 in association with QUB, is not yet out but soon should be. Your photos, letters and diaries were a treasure trove for it.
Great news – let us know when the Chinese edition comes out!
