Description: Hardcover -- First Printing from Collins/McSweeney's. Run of 1,000. It is the first volume in The Collins Library, a series by McSweeney’s Books of unusual out-of-print literary works. Unavailable in the U.S. for decades, English now returns in this newly selected and typeset hardcover, edited and introduced by Paul Collins. It has been produced in a small run of only 1000 copies — and our friends at Oddi Printing have made this a handsome edition indeed. A traveler’s phrasebook of, as Twain described it, “miraculous stupidities,”_ English_ was originally published in 1855 by two Portuguese scholars who apparently could not speak any English. Even worse, they didn’t own an English-to-Portuguese dictionary. What they did have, though, was a Portuguese-to-French dictionary and a French-to-English dictionary.
