Sobre este artículo
London : Macmillan & Co., 1908. First edition. Twenty-three essays and poems on bookish themes - Some Books and their Associations; The Passionate Printer; The Happy Printer; Two Modern Illustrators (Kate Greenaway and Hugh Thomson); Samuel Rogers; Samuel Pepys; Thackeray's Esmond; Milton; Fresh Facts about Fielding, etc. "To appreciate the book, for itself, lock, stock and barrel - or, rather, binding, matter, and print - it is good to feed a little on the literary food of Austin Dobson ... It is a pleasure reflected and enjoyed. Mr Dobson's affection for books is breathed from this volume" (Woolwich Gazette, 13th November 1908). Post 8vo (204 x 132mm). xii,232pp. Frontispiece and twelve plates - five by Kate Greenaway, the remainder by Hugh Thomson; bound in a near contemporary handsome half blue crushed morocco, banded and gilt; by Sangorski & Sutcliffe; silk headbands; top edge gilt; some mild rubbing and fading; endpapers lightly tanned at edges, but otherwise a very good copy of an attractive production. Small book-seller's label of W. & G. Foyle on rear paste-down.
