Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia, PA: T. B. Peterson, 1855. Book. Illus. by From designs by Phiz and Cruikshank. VG+. Half-Leather. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Complete in two (2) volumes, uniformly bound in light brown 1/2 leather, marbled paper-covered boards, spine panels decorated in gilt w/ 5 raised bands, marbled text block edges. Modest rubbing along edges, leather a bit scuffed but overall still quite decently preserved, with bright interiors. 966 pp., continuously paginated, illus. Undated, but Peterson's address is given as 102 Chestnut St., thus 1854-58 (the publisher's dates of occupancy at this address). Top spine label reads "Dickens' Works," suggesting that this set was part of a collected edition..
Sinopsis
Bleak House is the ninth novel by Charles Dickens, published in twenty monthly installments between March 1852 and September 1853. It is held to be one of Dickens's finest novels, containing one of the most vast, complex and engaging arrays of minor characters and sub-plots in his entire canon. The story is told partly by the novel's heroine, Esther Summerson, and partly by omniscient narrator.

Sobre Saucony Book Shop
The Saucony Book Shop, located in the heart of scenic rural Berks County, epicenter of Pennsylvania German folk culture (our shop specialty), offers a full range of gently used, rare, and antiquarian books, with many volumes of scholarly merit and an unabashed emphasis on the quaint, the curious, and the utterly obscure. We make no attempt to be a general-service book shop. Our inventory is highly selective, individually chosen from among the hundreds of thousands of books to which we have access annually at auctions, library and estate sales, and through individual scouts and vendors. We do not handle material that does not meet our expectations in terms of condition or interest to our specialized, idiosyncratic customers. Despite maintaining a browsing inventory of more than 15,000 volumes, we have minimized our carbon footprint by maintaining our entire operation in a cozy ca. 1890 barn and lean-to adjacent to an historic creamery in rural Maxatawny Township. Our shop is available for browsing by appointment and occasionally, in temperate weather, by chance, so email or call ahead to peruse the eclectic selection gracing our shelves, or ask our ferociously over-read staff for recommendations. Selling antiquarian books of merit since 1981. Full search and appraisal services; always keenly interested in purchasing quality used books, whether by the piece or by the bushel. Thanks for reading about us! Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
