London England: John Gifford, 1978. Hardback. Maps and Prints For Pleasure and Investment. In many ways this is a rare book. It is erudite but easy to read, academic yet practical and clearly written. By familiarising the reader with the style and techniques of print making the author aims to enable him to judge the antiquity, validity and value of the prints he will come across. More than anything, he seeks to pass on his own personal 'sense and feel' developed from many years of collecting maps and prints. Everything the print collecto needs to know is covered, including such matters as paper fakes and reproductions, restoring damaged prints and mounting. This new edition also includes a section of American lithography, making it particularly comprehensive. it is a book no collector of antique maps and prints can afford to be without. Illustrated. 196 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.). 2nd Revised Edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo. Hardback.
