Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. This book, titled "Works of James Boswell (Being) The Life of Samuel Johnson - Abridged" was published by Black's Readers Service circa 1965. The book was edited, with an Introduction, by Bergen Evans. **************************************** There were many various editions issued by Black through the years, with many different bindings. This binding is one of the most ornate that was issued. It is a lush light tan imitation leather, with gilt and red decorative embellishment. The book has a bright gilt top edge, and includes a place ribbon which is sewn in. ************************************* The spine says "The Works of Boswell", but the title page informs us that the book is an abridgment of "The Life of Samuel Johnson". The abridgment was effected by Bergen Evans. The original work is a multi-volume affair, long and involved. If you are a busy person with little spare time on your hands, you might well find this condensed version a perfect read. And the binding is sure to create a bright spot in any room in which it is placed. ***************************************************** TITLE : The Works of James Boswell : The Life of Samuel Johnson (Abridged) / AUTHOR : James Boswell (1740 - 1795) / EDITOR - INTRODUCTION : Bergen Evans / IMPRINT : Black's Reader Service / PLACE : roslyn, New York / DATE : No Date [ but circa 1965] / PHYSICAL DETAILS : Hardcover book; contains an Introduction,an Index and a selected Bibliography; 559 pages; approximately 5 1/8" x 7 1/4"; light tan leatherette binding (imitation leather) with gilt decoration, title in gilt against a red panel, top edge gilt, decorated end-papers, place ribbon sewn in. ************************************** CONDITION : VERY GOOD PLUS.
