ISBN10: 1584561122, ISBN13: 9781584561125, [publisher: The British Library, London] Hardcover Hardback. 234pp. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. John Carter's classic "ABC for Book Collectors" has long been established as the most enjoyable and informative reference work on book terminology. Here, in over 490 alphabetical entries, ranging in length from a single line to several pages, may be found the definition and analysis of the technical terms of book collecting and bibliography, interspersed with insightful comments on such subjects as auctions, conditions, facsimiles, fakes, points, rarity, organizations etc. This eighth edition, revised and expanded, and with an introduction by Nicholas Barker, editor of "The Book Collector", incorporates additions and amendments which have accumulated since the last edition was updated. Nicholas Barker worked with his friend John Carter revising the "ABC" up to the latter's death in 1975 and has faithfully preserved the subtle wit and spirit of the original. This is an indispensible guide to book collecting. Book in near fine condition. Dust jacket near fine and unclipped.
