As I left the London Library this afternoon I noticed that they had a window display of books recently written by some of their members, among them my own book The Quest for Mary Magdalene. The sun was shining brightly against the glass and the reflections made it difficult to photograph anything. There were about ten or twelve titles in all; here are few.

| Andrew Marr and John Simpson are well known on BBC news and current affairs programmes. |

The Beverley Collection at Alnwick Castle by
Claudia Wagner, John Boardman and Diana Scarisbrick
details one of the finest gem collections still in
private hands, the envy of Russia's
Catherine the Great.
And there is my Quest for Mary Magdalene.

| The London Library has at least two and a half times as many books as the ancient Library of Alexandria is thought to have had. |
