Sobre este artículo
Astronomy Books, Bernardston/Martino Publishing, Mansfield, 2001 reprint of 1890 first edition.. Reprint limited to 75 copies. Cloth, leather spine-label, 4to,. viii, 499 pp. From the publisher's description "This almost impossible to find catalogue [ie the 1890 edition] describes about 10,000 books on astronomy. Included are books from the earliest period up until the date of publication. The catalogue contains substantial collations with plates-counts for many citations. There are also 18 cross-referenced subject headings. The library of Charles Babbage forms the core of this magnificent collection, which is especially strong in all areas related to comets. This extremely rare catalogue has never been reprinted. Almost all extant copies of the original are very brittle due to the paper used for printing. The catalogue is an alphabetical one, arranged chiefly according to the authors' names. Immediately following the author is title, number of volumes, number of plates, maps, etc., size, and finally the dimensions. Besterman 588. Fine.

Sobre Wykeham Books
We specialize chiefly in "books about books", the emphasis being on historical aspects of book collecting, production and distribution. A particular speciality is in bibliographies, of all subjects of interest to collectors, dealers and scholars, with several thousand bibliography titles in stock. Other strengths include extensive holdings of auction catalogues for book sales and a good selction of reference material on and facsimiles of illuminated manuscripts. We also have a special interest in rare material by or about Rudyard Kipling.
