About This Item
Boston: Little, Brown, and Company, 1928. 2nd pr.. Hardcover. Very Good/None. Hardcover, light blue boards with dark blue cloth spine, paper title on spine. 410 pages, color frontis., many b&w illustrations, top edge gilt. An entertaining account of book collecting packed with anecdotes of books and bookmen. From the blurb: "In This Book-Collecting Game there are discussions of bindings, of the earmarks of editions, of auctions, of the "knock-out," of all the rewards and perils of the collector's life. And there are also the excursions in literature and friendship without which no book of Mr. Newton's would be natural or complete. Mr. Newton gives valuable and generous hints to enterprising lovers of books - hints which, shrewdly pursued, may start them on the same road to friendly fame and famous friendships which Mr. Newton himself has traveled. Clean, square copy. Record # 384704
