I Love Books
What a find: a virtually like-new copy of Carlyle's The French Revolution (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.
