Shandylicious


Flourish line in: The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman. No. 40 in 'The World's Classics', Oxford University Press, 1966. Potlatch from our new neighbour Kælderantikvariatet. The antiquarian told us a memory from his time as a page at the Main Library in Århus;  in a copy of an english edition of 'Tristram Shandy' in the library, was written in pencil on the titlepage: "Shandylicious!"
