Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure [Fanny Hill]
John Cleland
A HANDSOMELY BOUND COPY
Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure - popularly known as Fanny Hill - is an erotic novel by the English novelist John Cleland first published in London in 1748. Written while the author was in debtors' prison in London. There has been speculation that the novel was at least partly written by 1740, when Cleland was stationed in Bombay as an employee of the East India Company.
It is one of the most prosecuted and banned books in history.

Sobre Regency Books 1811
The Rambler Press was founded in the summer of 2013 and was conceived from love for English culture, history, and countryside as well as handmade paper and Caslon type. Our main purpose is to capture the beauty of 18th-century books, the finest period of English typography: bygone historical ligatures, long s, ornaments, what once created an exceptional piece of printing, sometimes called – without any exaggeration – "fine printing".
