Sobre este artículo
R. R. Bowker Company, New York, first edition, 1954. Cloth, 8vo, 26 cm,. x, 656 pp. 11,450 entries. First edition of this classic bibliography, which includes an indication of the relative scarcity of each title described and in many cases annotations commenting on the work's significance. From the introduction - "Complete coverage could be aimed at only for books of great general interest, high importance and of more than ordinary commercial value, those arbitrarily graded, for the purposes of this work, as ‘'scarce' and ‘'rare' and worth twenty-five dollars and upwards. Of the innumerable books classifiable as merely ‘'uncommon' - and having approximate current values of between ten and twenty-five dollars - only a highly selective representation has been attempted. Selectivity is increased for books belonging to this class when their appeal is of a local rather than of a national« regional character. Formal local histories are mostly excluded; those of a more unusual nature are rather scrupulously entered. Covers slightly rubbed, corners and head of spine mildly bumped, otherwise Good.
