Seller's Description:
Very Good jacket. New York. 1979. Dutton. 1st Printing of This New Revised Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0876903456. Foreword by John F. Fleming. A Sunrise Book. 304 pages. hardcover. keywords: Collecting Books Reference. DESCRIPTION-The greatest sport, next to love, is book collecting, wrote the late Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach, whom the press justly called ‘The Napoleon of Books. ' Here, by a professional rare book dealer who writes with lucidity and wit, is a complete and expert guide to this fascinating hobby. Book collecting is an absorbing avocation, but it need not be an ex pensive one. Seumas Stewart's practical and entertaining guide provides the necessary background information, advises the collector on problems he is likely to meet, and acquaints him with fields where he may operate with pleasure and perhaps profit. Collectable subjects range from pre-1600 editions to modern adventure and natural history. Costs vary with rarity, and a scale of values is included to help collectors gauge the likely cost of acquisitions. Advice is given on first editions and the problems they present, and the points with which to identify choice editions are discussed. Traditional methods of book production are explained — they are an important means of establishing authenticity. Besides quality fiction and poetry, other re-warding fields of collecting are discussed, such as biography, travel topography, children's books, and British and American history. There is a chapter on illustration, fine printing, and books from private presses. To round out this highly readable and informative guide, Seumas Stewart has included sections on book hunting and how to care for a collection. A full bibliography gives valuable details on reference works the collector will need to consult. The glossary of terms and abbreviations used in the antiquarian book world is. an extremely useful addition for anyone who has found the standard reference works or booksellers' catalogues too full of hieroglyphics. John F. Fleming, noted American rare book dealer and collector, and successor to Dr. Rosenbach, writes in his Foreword: There is a very wide range of subjects to collect here, and serious beginners are well advised how they may be able to value a book and escape the pitfalls of this fascinating game. ' Even experienced collectors, as well as beginners, will profit from the information and advice given in Seumas Stewart's authoritative guide and will enjoy its lively approach and anecdotes. inventory #19519.
