Excerpt from How to Choose Editions, Vol. 8
At no time does the young librarian feel his limitations more than when suddenly called upon to decide which among many editions of a famous classic he should order. Even with the books before him, he is often in doubt what standards to apply in estimating them, what qualities should be insisted upon as essentials, what defects he may forgive as of secondary importance. He knows whether the physical appearance of a particular volume is pleasing to him, but he can not always discern the specific qualities which contribute to the satisfactory effect, and he is not confident that his taste and judgment would be approved by more experienced book lovers or book custodians. These things come by observation, but meantime, who will aid him? There is but little in print that will serve. The short introductory section entitled "What is a good edition?" in Humphreys's Private Library is suggestive and practical, and George French's Printing in Relation to Graphic Art is illuminating in its discussion of the higher requirements in book making, but neither covers completely the needs of the inexperienced, nor are these books likely to be found on the shelves of the smaller libraries.
