I actually purchased Confessions of an English Opium Eater at Maggs Bros. in London this summer when I was still living there! It was a print from the 1800s (one of the earlier editions of it)! I absolutely ADORE that copy and keep it wrapped up when I'm not looking at it. I don't want anything to happen to it 
That is so awesome! I hope you got the book for a good price. Love old books! Especially their smell. 
I actually did! It was extremely expensive originally (and British pounds are basically double USDs which I was technically spending), but since I showed so much interest in the store (it was at 50 Berkeley Square which I had written some small pieces on and was very interested in the attic hauntings and the police notices around the place 
) they sold it to me cheaper. It was still around $100, but it was definitely worth it.
And yesss. Old books have the BEST smell ever.
