American Notes by Charles Dickens, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Charles Dickens's account of his first visit to North America in 1842 takes the reader from Boston and New York to Washington, the Midwest and Canada. He describes prisons, factories and steamboats with the eye of a novelist, and ends with a fierce attack on slavery. Its frank criticism of American manners caused a stir on both sides of the Atlantic.
