Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, 209 pp. From the blurb- "[T]he authors' newest collaboration can be called a model of instruction for anyone - amateur or professional - who claims an interest in old books, their significance and history. In a volume distilled from their accumulated experience, the scholar-partners of Leona Rostenberg - Rare Books pass on their insights - and hindsights - into the antiquarian book business and set down professional techniques and guidelines developed over the years. Their jointly written chapter on the how to's of catalogues and collecting will be especially useful to collectors and dealers. They also offer chapters packed with information on some of the unusual collectibles they have tracked down - uncommon Americana, feminism, political catalysts, and curious books and non-books - and provide a bibliographic listing for each category. Three chapters, written in a light vein, are both cautionary and instructive. 'Public Relations' and 'Perils and Pitfalls at Home & Abroad' supply practical do's and don't's and point out hazards awaiting the unwary. 'Adventures of a Literary Sleuth' demonstrates the rewards of scholarship for anyone with serious aspirations in the antiquarian field. Between Boards concludes with a personal and professional testament reflecting the authors' lifetime devotion to books. 'An Antiquarian Book- seller's Credo' describes the qualities, qualifications and labors they consider essential to the dealer: motivation, education, apprenticeship, specialization, patience and forebearance, perception, imagination, sleuthing, respect for the ephemeral, research, a sense of value, trade association membership, and - lastly - an unquenchable joy in the trade." Very Good in used and price-clipped dustwrapper.…

hardcover. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
