Description

An attempt to list popular "collectible" novels, plays and poetry in the UK up to that period. Still a fairly a useful reference source of first edition titles, publishers, dates etc, but the valuations are obviously no longer valid. Most useful for the plates illustrating the original book jackets. It begins with an entertaining introduction and a witty glossary of descriptive terms. 336p +23 plates . A very crisp,.tight, neat copy, but with library marks, and ffep missing.
