Often cited as the greatest of bookseller biographies.
Dr. R., known in Paris auction houses as "Le Napoléon des Livres," was more than the most prominent of 20th-century American antiquarian booksellers: On one side of the leaf he was a promoter of book collecting, rationally suggesting valuable books as an investment; on the other, he was a scholar of depth and wide berth who contributed substantially to the world of bibliography. This copy in exemplary condition.
