Dear Anne,
I have no direct answer to your question, but it is easy to access the catalogue of the books owned by Virginia and Leonard Woolf. If you do so, you can then search the word "Loeb" and count the items you'll find. There are many. I stopped after the first dozen or so.

I hope this will help you.

> The library at WSU, which is by no means all of their books, only lists one. (catalog here: http://ntserver1.wsulibs.wsu.edu/masc/onlinebooks/woolflibrary/woolflibraryonline.htm)

> Does anyone have a citation that would confirm my/our hunch that the Woolfs in fact owned many?

> This is interesting for many reasons but in this instance because Woolf has Septimus with a shelf of Loeb editions in an early draft of *Mrs. Dalloway* and I want to underscore the point that Woolf is not sneering at him, but admiring his attempt. She says as much in a review of the Loebs, but having an account of how many she owned is another piece of information.
