Shandylicious

Flourish line in: The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman. No. 40 in 'The World's Classics', Oxford University Press, 1966. Potlatch from our new neighbour Kælderantikvariatet. The antiquarian told us a memory from his time as a page at the Main Library in Århus; — in a copy of an english edition of 'Tristram Shandy' in the library, was written in pencil on the titlepage: "Shandylicious!"

Black Hair

A black hair in Tristram Shandys levned og meninger (Borgen, 2004) 2. danish edition. Copy at Vanløse Bibliotek — Reminds us of the story about the librarian Timothy Ryback, who in the remains of Hitler’s private library — located at the Library of Congress in Washington DC — between page 160 and 161 in Berlins Aufstieg zu Weltstadt, 1929 — finds "a wiry inch-long black hair that appears to be from a moustache".

Wartime reading

Tristram Shandy condensed for wartime reading, published in 1942 by Editions for the Armed Services, Inc. as no. K-31 in a whole series of pre-paperback literature which during the WWII was shipped to the US-troops overseas, for their amusement and education. There is no black page, no marbled page and nor plot-lines either in this edition. But the flourish line from corporal Trim's stick, and all the "[…] prodigious armies we had in Flanders", are indeed present.
