Description
xvii, 505 pages. "This book is written as an attempt to fill a gap in bibliographical study. (To date) there has been little effort to survey the principles of descriptive bibliography with relatively full detail, to discuss difficulties, and especially to coordinate what has been written about the problems with the solutions which have been evolved in practice." - Foreword. Copyright page dated 1962 but, given the presence of an ISBN number, this copy was probably printed more recently. Prior owner's details handwritten atop front free endpaper, otherwise contents clean, bright and unmarked. Binding tight. Bit of soiling to bottom edge. Moderate wear to blue boards. Brilliant gilt lettering upon backstrip. A quality copy of this valuable guide. Book
