Some Remembered Words by Shoenfeld

Format: Hardcover with Dust Jacket

Published by Academy Chicago Publishers, 1996

In the 18th and 19th centuries, literate people were fond of copying from their favorite books passages which had especially struck them or which seemed to have some particular significance, often adding to these their own reflections. This tradition of "commonplace books" has largely been lost in the hurly-burly of modern life. Now, Oscar Shoenfeld revives this lost art, with this handsome little volume.
