"Poverty was a major cause of heavy outbreaks of disease, with many people living on the edge of subsistence, having a minimum of warmth, clothing, and shelter, and with the ever-present threat of starvation hanging over their heads."

Some of you asked for a pocket , so here we go! I’m making up my own construction, as pockets are very simple. I’m doing a 4 layer construction: decorative embroidered front (cotton/poly blend, I’m pretty sure), inner lining (cotton) and back in a sturdy cotton canvas. I want to avoid binding because I hate sewing on binding. I’m machine sewing these, as I generally machine sew first attempts for efficiency.

Avis aux bibliophiles! Je cherche un roman de la fin du :

La Forêt de Livry, ou Erreur, malheur, et bonheur, par la cit. Alphonse ***, Paris, André-Augustin Lottin, An VII, 2 vol., in-18.

D’après le CCfr, un seul exemplaire se trouve en France, à la bibliothèque de Fougères, que j'ai contactée.
Curieusement, il n’est référencé dans aucun autre OPAC (Sudoc, WorldCat, LoC, BL, ICCU, BSB, Berlin...).
Sauriez-vous quels catalogues consulter pour retrouver sa piste, si possible à Paris? 🙏

I'm originally from the US, but have lived in the UK for the last decade. I'm working on my Italian so I can finally talk to my in-laws.

I do and on the weekend.
