Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne 1928 1st Modern Library Edition Novel

HISTORY: From the beloved collection of the Atkinson family, whose stories are weaved together in George Howe Colt's New York Times notable book of the year, "The Big House: A Century in the Life of an American Summer Home." Many of these books are inscribed by Atkinson family members. I highly recommend Colt's memoir, if only to discover the history behind these eclectic family treasures. DETAILS/CONDITION: Covers show light wear; covers are slightly bowed. Shelf-cocked. Gilt detail on front cover and spine. Front hinge is broken; book block has separated from front cover. Title page is detached. Pages are crisp and clean.
