Almost everyone seems to agree that "The Power of Sympathy", published 1789, was the first American novel. (It was written in epistolary form as was Richardson's "Pamela", the most popular novel in America for many decades.) But it seems that this work, written either anonymously or...

Hi! I have a hardback book with what I think is a printing defect. The top edges of the last 26 pages have wrinkles in the top right corner. The worst is the back flyleaf, which looks like it was pushed down from the top. It is torn about 1/4 inch and folds down after the tear for about an inch. I...
