Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Hogarth Press Edition. Paperback. The Notebooks of Samuel Butler. Slight browning to edges of pages through age. One of our most original writers and thinkers, Samuel Butler always carried a small black notebook in his waistcoak pocket in which he jotted down such eternal epigrams, questions, anecdotes, oddities, fables - incisive asides on everything from God to Grapes, Wisdom to Window Cleaning. Writers as different as Virginia Woolf and George Bernard Shaw were among those influenced by Butler's 'fresh and future-piercing suggestions' and the Notebooks have long been regarded as containing his most hilarious and pungent writing. But, despite the temptation, be warned against reading them in a dentist's waiting room, a hushed library, or anywhere else where the sudden guffaw raises a steely glare. 438 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.
