NO creases. NO rubbing. NO fading. Bright, shiny, clean, square and tight. Previous owner's name on half title page. All other pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked. NOT a remainder. 1974. Fifth Edition with Corrections. Although a 6th edition exists revised by Nicolas Barker, this 5th edition was the last to come out in John Carter's lifetime, and thus retains all of his charm and erudition It is a dictionary of terms and facts that is both a pleasure to read and a key reference.

Cloth, 8vo, 21 cm,. 211 pp. From the blurb: "Foxed, not in STC, rare in boards, Q6 is a cancel as usual, secondary binding, Harleian style, made-up - do you know the meaning of these and hundreds of similar terms constantly used in the catalogues of antiquarian booksellers and auctioneers ? If not, John Carter's expert but informal manual is the book you have been waiting for. Not only is the actual language of book-collecting full of jargon and special terminology. The rules, conventions and taboos of the cult are also legitimately puzzling to the layman, and its technique involves many unsuspected subtleties. Here, under about 450 alphabetical entries, ranging in length from a single line to several pages, may be found definition and analysis of the technical terms of book-collecting and bibliography, interspersed with salutary comment on such subjects as auctions, condition, facsimiles and fakes,… Read More
