Description

New York, New York, USA: Touchstone Books/Simon & Schuster, 2003. First Thus. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7. Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Clean and bright wrappers with slight wear to edges. Pages are spotless. Rem mk on bottom edge. Chuck Zerby "explores footnotes' long and illustrious history and makes a clarion call to save them from the new world of the Internet and hypertext". The dominance of footnotes of 18th and 19th century literature was both hard-won, following many years of struggle-and doomed, as it led to belittlement in the 20th century. Perhaps it doesn't sound like it, but this is a delightful and entertaining read! 150 pages. 8.5 x 5.5 inches. 2003, Simon & Schuster, New York, New York, USA
