Kitchen bookshelves at @NTmountstewart

[Edinburgh Books @EdinburghBooks]

Some of the bookshelves in the sitting room of Lady Londonderry aka Edith Helen Vane-Tempest-Stewart (1878-1959) amongst other things she was a writer and editor.
A shelf of Yeats and a shelf of Buchan amongst the treasures here at @NTmountstewart

[Edinburgh Books @EdinburghBooks]

Some of the books in Lord Londonderry's sitting room - plenty of political biography though I didn't see any copies of Mein Kampf. Perhaps they are at the other end of the room where you are not allowed to go
