Sobre este item
- William Butts, Manuscripts and FABS Journal, Spring 2024
First published by Princeton University Press in 1949, this reprint with the introduction by G. Thomas Tanselle was published in 1994 by St. Paul's Bibliographies. Reprinted by Oak Knoll Press and The Bibliographichal Society of the University of Virginia in 2023, this indisputable classic of 20th-century scholarship is one of the standard guides on the subject of bibliography, providing a comprehensive manual for the description of printed books as physical objects. Although there has been much activity in the area of descriptive bibliography since, Bowers' work still holds its place as the central book to which those engaged in bibliographical work continually return.
Sinopse
From the text: "The craze for first impressions of first editions, and first issues of first impressions of first editions, and first states of first impressions of first editions, has occasionally resulted in speculation and bibliographical absurdity among collectors and dealers.... Any minor change made in the course of the original printing is immediately seized on as constituting an 'issue.' A trial binding used for perhaps twenty copies of salesmen's samples becomes a rare 'first issue.'"
