He traces the history of the development of the bindings with emphasis on how detective work can often yield interesting conclusions on the priority of issue for both the bibliographer and collector. The general study is followed by specific examples of his research applied to an array of nineteenth century first editions." Octavo. Full blue leatherette binding, with gilt titles.
