Written by Henry Sherman Boutell, this work serves as an indispensable resource for bibliophiles, librarians, and scholars who seek to master the identification of first impressions and subsequent printings. The book provides a detailed survey of the unique marking systems and typographical indicators employed by numerous English and American publishing houses during the early 20th century.As the rare book market expanded in the early 20th century, the need for a standardized approach to bibliography became paramount. Boutell addresses this need by compiling direct statements from publishers regarding their specific methods of indicating first editions.
