Not the CofE does a lot of one-true-churching, so he's probably safe ;) …presumably the bookseller in question doesn’t feel CofE is the one true church and hence taking advantage of them might lead to toasty tootsies.

I have a friend who collects material along this line and her treasures did not come cheaply. What she has is really cool; I've been able to hold an actual copy of Henry VIII's Oath of Supremacy in my hands and attempt to decipher the signatures. I know that item alone cost several thousand dollars, and Great Bibles from Elizabeth's reign run the same. Since it was the pre-1800 collection I'm going to pass this info along to that friend. I have a feeling she's going to go chasing after who Thornton sold the collection to in case there's anything she wants. I can only imagine what must have been in that collection.
