In York, in another Antiquarian bookstore — on our way to Coxwold — we found this edition of The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy published in the MacDonald Illustrated Classics Series. 50 pee, only. With cover in red fablea binding, with title and decorations in 'gold leaf' — (Fablea: danish word for leatherine; artificial leather, created of the two english words 'fabric' and 'leather'. The later discovery of the absent of the title page, explained somehow this a-little-bit-too-good bargain.
