The School for Scandal by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. First performed in 1777, Richard Brinsley Sheridan's comedy satirises the gossips of fashionable London. Lady Sneerwell's circle spreads scandal while the young Lady Teazle flirts with the hypocritical Joseph Surface, and his good-hearted brother Charles is misjudged by all. Its famous screen scene is one of the great moments of English comedy.
About this leather-bound edition
Each copy is bound by hand in genuine leather over sturdy boards, with decorative tooling and gold-tone foil lettering on the spine. Natural variation in grain, shade and foil impression is part of the character of every handmade book, so no two copies are exactly alike.
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.
