Reader's note

A stunning vintage copy of illustrated Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift is a gem among a bounty of out of print rare books and stunning vintage books on our 2nd hand bookstore! 'And I remember in frequent discourses with my master concerning the nature of manhood, in other parts of the world, having occasion to talk of lying and false representation… For he argued thus; that the use of speech was to make us understand one another, and to receive information of facts; now if any one said the thing which was not, these ends were defeated…he leaves me worse than in ignorance, for I am led to believe a thing black when it is white, and short when it is long.' Looking for beautiful vintage books to stand out on your bookshelf? This decoratively covered edition of Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift would be a charming addition to any home library.
