Laurence Sterne, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
Laurence Sterne's great comic novel, Tristram Shandy, was originally published between 1759 and 1767 in nine small separate volumes, the last appearing shortly before Sterne's death.
1759/1769
![Page 23: Books I Like](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf96b7550346d0338d5021/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Laurence Sterne, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
To protect his book from piracy, Sterne autographed the beginning of the first and second editions of volume 5 and the first editions of volumes 7 and 9. It has been estimated that Sterne had to sign his name an incredible 12,750 times to achieve this.
1759/1769

Laurence Sterne, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
Sterne saw each volume through the press himself, despite having to travel to London from Yorkshire. His letters to the publishers are evidence of the painstaking care with which he chose the format, paper, type and layout of the novel. As a result, the book is a physical pleasure to read and turning the page is often full of surprises.

Laurence Sterne, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
One of the great advantages of examining the early editions of Tristram Shandy is the resulting satisfaction in actually seeing and appreciating the volumes as designed by Sterne. The peculiarities of the book are such that examining the originals are crucial to a real understanding of the startling originality of the text, with its intimate interweaving of verbal and visual elements.
But more unusual than a playfulness with fonts is Sterne's frequent manipulation of the page: typical is the blank page shown here where the reader is invited to interact with the book and draw his own portrait of the Widow Wadman.

Laurence Sterne, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
Each text page is characterised by an intricate system of hyphens, dashes, asterisks, and occasional crosses; remarkable use is particularly made of the dash - varying in length, these are often treated as though they were words, while the small type area and generous spacing and margins of the original volumes emphasise their visibility.

Other oddities scattered throughout the volumes include the black page when Yorick dies, the hand marbled page where each side is uniquely different, parallel texts in Latin and English, one sentence chapters, misplaced chapters and missing chapters - as in volume 4, where the

pagination jumps from page 146 to 156 onaccount of missing chapter 24, thereby misnumbering all the subsequent right hand pages as even (when, as everyone knows, they are always odd). Such peculiarities draw attention to the appearance of the page and highlight the novel's lack of conventional form; indeed, although written in a conversational style, the enjoyment of the book very much depends upon the reader experiencing it as a physical object.

Niki Segnit, The Flavour Thesaurus. Pairings, Recipes and Ideas for the Creative Cook
-image from the book-
Here is a marvellous idea for a book: a "thesaurus" of different flavour combinations. Former marketing executive Niki Segnit has taken 99 flavours (from potato and cucumber to black pudding and washed-rind cheese) and grouped them into hundreds of pairings, each accompanied by an elegant, and often highly witty, mini-essay. In one sense Segnit is telling us nothing new, since flavour combinations are something we all know about: why else would we chose to eat cheese and onion crisps, or mustard with ham? But she fleshes out our understanding of such classic pairings, informing us, for instance, that "the most English combination" of beef and horseradish actually originated in Germany. At the same time she enlarges our sense of the possibilities of flavour-combining. Coffee and goat's cheese? Who would have thought it, but apparently Norwegians eat a
