Sobre este artículo
Cheltenham: Middle Hill Press, 1864.
Bifolium. 170 x 108 mm., [6 ¾ x 4 ¼ inches]. Folded. Printed on recto and verso of the first leaf only. Disbound, signs of stitching still visible. Very good condition.
Remarkable survival, printed by Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872), in his dotage from notes taken as a boy of 16 years. The catalogue suggests great pride by the elderly Phillipps as he records the beginning of his youthful enthusiasm for the printed book and manuscripts. The catalogue cites in short-title format 111 individual books, mostly of gothic novels but also history, classical tales of adventure and biography. The most striking aspect of this collection are the number of novels Phillipps collected, including Don Quixote, Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Travels, but also gothic fiction titles such as Cavern of Horrors, The Secret Oath, The Midnight Assassin, Mysteries of the Black Convent, and the Jewish Magician, to name a few. Phillipps was to go on to from this adolescent passion to build the largest and most important collection of books and manuscripts, numbering over 100,000 titles, many of which have come into the market during my lifetime.
OCLC locates copies of this catalogue at the Grolier Club, Huntington Library, Newberry Library, Yale, and the British Library. See Eric Holzenberg's book, the Middle Hill Press: A Checklist of the Horblit Collection, no. 40. (1202)

Sobre De Simone Company, Booksellers
De Simone Company Booksellers specializes in early Italian books and manuscripts, mostly in the fields of social science, history, antiquarian bibliography and illustrated books. The owner, Daniel De Simone, has a particular interest in books, manuscripts, and ephemera printed in, or about, the history of Ferrara, Italy. The business also deals in 19th-century Americana and fine books in all fields and languages.
De Simone Company Booksellers enjoyed its second opening as a book company in 2018 after a seventeen-year hiatus. Originally established in 1978, De Simone Company bought, sold, and evaluated rare books, manuscripts, and prints for twenty-two years before closing, when De Simone accepted the position as Curator of the Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection at the Library of Congress.
De Simone held this position for fourteen years before moving to the Folger Shakespeare Library as the Eric Weinmann Librarian. In this position, he managed seven departments, including acquisitions, exhibitions, conservation, research services, and the Library's book, manuscript, and art collections. He held this position for three years before retiring in 2017 and reopening De Simone Company Booksellers.
Because of his experience in both the book trade and rare book librarianship, De Simone consults with institutions about the development and evaluation of their library collections. He is the author and editor of a number of books and articles on the history of book illustration and early bibliography.
He is a member of the ABAA (Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America), the ILAB (International League of Antiquarian Booksellers), the Print Council of America, the Grolier Club, the Association Internationale de Bibliophilie, the American Printing History Association, the Bibliographical Society of America. He is also the Treasurer of the Antiquarian Book Seminar Foundation, a 501c3, which support the Colorado Antiquarian Books Seminar (CABS). Recently he has been appointed Secretary of Breslauer Prize for Bibliography by the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers.
