About This Item
New York: Sears and Cole, 1878.. Volume one, of two. viii,251,[3]pp. Original printed wrapper over stiff wrapper. Tile-page printed in color, some color initials and head and tail-pieces. White wrapper dust-soiled, as often, otherwise very good and unopened. First edition of the first volume of the Odell Library catalogue. One of "a very few copies only [of this deluxe issue] ... printed for private circulation." A very interesting private catalogue, printed in various colors, with Gothic and black-letter on occasion, including a wide array of unusual works in a number of fields, particularly bibliography and reference, as well as more arcane topics. Some items are accompanied by lengthy commentary or quotations from secondary sources; others are treated with frustrating brevity. This volume includes items through 1330; the second volume, published in 1879 raised the count to a total of 2,434 items. The library was eventually auctioned by Bangs.
