by BASBANES, Nicholas
New York: Henry Holt, 1995. Softcover. Near Fine. Uncorrected proof. Printed red wrappers. Tiny spots at the bottom of the spine and just on the edge of the front wrap, else near fine. Excellent book on book collectors and collecting including an historic overview, with interviews and profiles of modern collectors. A fascinating read, and increasingly scarce, especially in this format. (Inventory #: 573199)
