Main Street Fine Books & Manuscripts

The Book-Hunter etc.

BURTON, John Hill.

New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company, n.y. Hardcover. Small 8vo. Brown cloth with gilt spine lettering. xvi, 396pp. Tissue-guarded frontispiece, illustrations. Very good. Minor binding wear only -- internally tight and near fine. Item #48903

Tight and nice later reprint edition of the 1862 books-about-books classic by the noted Scottish attorney and economist (1809-81). Some attach various dates to this undated edition -- often 1895 or 1883 -- but seemingly without evidence; certainly late 19th century. A lovely copy.

Price: $65.00
