It is a bit clunky at first to use -- but bear with it. You can open every page of every edition he produced and using the pull down menu on the left side, you can enlarge the images.

I can't quote it exactly, as I don't have the book to hand, but it's in '84 Charing Cross Road' and worth looking up.
