London: Studio Vista, 1971. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition / Very Good Condition. Item #376096
ISBN: 0289701252

Quayle's wide ranging survey of books and book collecting offers a panoramic introduction to the physical, artistic, and historical forms that printed works have taken from the hand‑press era onward. With a collector's instinct for rarity, illustration, binding, and bibliographic detail, he examines landmark editions, notable printers, and the evolving tastes that shaped private libraries. The volume serves as both an accessible primer and a discriminating guide, revealing how books themselves, quite apart from their texts, became objects of enduring fascination. 144 pages, illustrated. Original gilt lettered cloth, with a dustwrapper. Size: 21 x 29 cms. Category: Varied Books; Books on Books; New Arrivals; ISBN: 0289701252. ISBN/EAN: 9780289701256.
