Called by William A. Jackson "Dibdin's best known, and in later editions, most useful book. Written in less than a month, it marks the first full flowering of Dibdin's love affair with books; it had the effect of producing much innocent mirth and exciting a general curiosity after rare and precious volumes." A facsimile edition of the 1809 edition appeared in New York in 1864.
