One curious lacuna in scholarship seems to be the more or less total 
lack of facsimiles of the original editions of Virginia Woolf's books. 
They are out of copyright, and no legal barrier seems to exist to 
posting or publishing facsimiles. For Mrs Dalloway, for example, a scan 
of the 1928 Modern Library reprint is on Archive.org and elsewhere, but 
that is the American text, not the quite different British one.

Is there any hope that a library with holdings of the early printings 
might be persuaded to take on a project like this one? Or that a 
publisher might be interested in issuing facsimiles?
