About This Item
New York: R.R. Bowker Company for the Newberry Library, 1962. Revised and Enlarged Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Large 8vo 9" - 10. Good-looking, structurally sound exemplar of an extremely useful compendium of Americana, considered for decades still the go-to reference material for booksellers and collectors alike. Personal copy from the noted Altadena, California-based bookseller and appraiser, Mr. Robert Allen, as conveyed to me from his wife, Priscilla ("Brownie") Allen, partner also to Charles ("Chic") Goldschmid. The sub-title reads: "A Selective Bibliography in Which are Described 11,620 Uncommon and Significant Books Relating to the Continental Portion of the United States." Bound simply in brown buckram cloth, with tan lettering to spine. This is the Revised and Enlarged edition, the first edition having been published in 1954. Complete with author's Foreword, abbreviations and symbols galore, and with an alphabetical listing of maps by author/illustrator. [5], 6-562 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
