About This Item
David & Charles, 1978 8vo (22.5 cm), 200 pp, plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "In this book Roy Harley Lewis takes us on a guided tour of the realm of antiquarian books. With a wealth of intriguing information and often hilarious anecdotes, he introduces us to the literary forger and the great names of antiquarian bookselling, both past and present, and invites us into the auction room and the workshop of the craftsman-binder. He shows us the many rôles played by the detectives of the book world and recaptures for us some of the great moments when a rare or a unique manuscript has at last been run to earth." (from the publisher's synopsis)
