Is that a typo (by you or me) or is that a different publication?

Perhas it was a different publication or I remembered the name wrongly.
I flicked through the pages and it contained the sort of articles you
have described.

It would be a strange coincidence if they were your old volumes; the
seller came from the Trowbridge (Wilts) area.

Here, local artisans would do the job. We just had to buy the book 
covers from the publisher separately, often sold at the same street 
kiosk or library that had sold us the fascicles.

An old uncle of mine did the job himself. He bonded them with leather 
and gold engravings.

Yes. But 'Aryan' developed a special meaning mid 20th century.
being used to refer to a mythical prototypical white European race of 
inherently superior qualities

Or, as we later thought of it, Germans being the usual arrogant arseholes...

When people spoke of "Indo-European", I thought the 'Indo' was from a

Yes.
The French word for "meter" (the unit of length) is spelled mètre.

Its the same in English.

Kilometre - not Kilometer
