Fifty years of writing produced an enormous quantity of books and magazine pieces, and Leacock's fame meant that most of those books appeared in many editions and translations, both during and after his lifetime. The dedicated Leacock collector will not need an infinitely deep pocketbook, for the majority of the books is not particularly expensive; a great deal of shelf-space, however, is a sine qua non.","PeriodicalId":81279,"journal":{"name":"Fontanus","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69322087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
