Sobre este artículo
David and Charles, Newton Abbot, first edition, 1978. Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm,. 200 pp, plates. From the blurb: "In this book Roy Harley Lewis, author of The Book Browser's Guide, takes us on a guided tour of the realm of antiquarian books. With a wealth of intriguing information and often hilarious anecdotes, he introduces us to the literary forger and the great names of antiquarian bookselling, both past and present, and invites us into the auction room and the workshop of the craftsman-binder. He shows us the many rôles played by the detectives of the book world and recaptures for us some of the great moments when a rare or a unique manuscript has at last been run to earth. More than this, he gives us a whiff of the rare enchantment that books can cast upon us all. Marks ( partly whited-out) to verso of the title-page, two lines on top edge, otherwise Very Good in dustwrapper.
