The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman by Laurence Sterne, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Published in nine volumes between 1759 and 1767, Laurence Sterne's comic novel is one of the strangest and funniest books in English. Tristram sets out to tell his life story but is not even born until the third volume, distracted by digressions, his father's theories and his Uncle Toby's obsession with fortifications. Its black and marbled pages still astonish readers.
About this leather-bound edition
We cover every book in genuine leather by hand, finishing the spine with gold-tone foil titling and decorative tooling in the tradition of fine library bindings. Because each copy is made individually, small variations in leather grain and colour are a natural sign of handwork.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
