Descripción Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. First Edition, Limited 650 copies. Philadelphia: Holmes Publishing Co, 1988. SIGNED by Barkworth at the colophon. BRAND NEW in a BRAND NEW dust jacket. Perfect condition. A bibliomystery story about the quest of booksellers, librarians, collectors and wealthy foundations to authenticate and acquire a newly discovered text printed in movable metal type older than any by Gutenberg. Has parallels to real characters and institutions. Must reading for book world insiders. The author, S. Barkworth is a pseudonym; probably London bookseller Arthur Freeman of Quaritch. If so, his wry sense of humor is evident on the dust jacket blurb. Freeman's quote about his own book: "Absolutely wonderful. I really admire it." Bound in the original gilt-stamped green cloth. Complete with pristine dust jacket. SIGNED by Barkworth. First Edition, Limited 650 copies. Hardcover. New/New. 8vo. (xii), 153pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. Nº de ref. del artículo: 023278
