I Love Books
What a find: a virtually like-new copy of Carlyle's [i]The French Revolution[/i] (1956)from the Limited Editions Club. Red morocco and blue linen binding, book plate of original owner who took meticulous care of it. Original "Monthly Letter" enclosed.
It was like a time warp. I felt I could have received it a year or two after publication. The Letter, written at height of cold war, and not long after ChiComs came into power, was a reflection on the uncertain futures that revolutions produce.
