Description

Charlottesville, VA: The University Press of Virginia, 1948. SEE PHOTOS. Consecutive run of 33 volumes, #1 - #33, 1948 - 1980. HARDCOVER. Mixed set consisting of some First Editions and some reissues. Most of the early volumes are from 1964-68 reissue. Some of these reissues are corrected and all are clothbound. Some of the originals were bound in wraps or flimsy paper boards that just don't hold up. Most people prefer the sturdy clothbound hardcover reissues for their superior durabilty, not to mention their revisions and corrections. The set is an important source of bibliographical information. Contained in these volumes are articles that have become standard works of reference, such as W. W. Greg's THE RATIONALE OF COPY-TEXT (Vol. 3), Allan H. Stevenson's WATERMARKS ARE TWINS (Vol. 4), Bruce Harkness's BIBLIOGRAPHY AND THE NOVELISTIC FALLACY (Vol. 12), D. F. McKenzie's PRINTERS OF THE MIND: SOME NOTES ON BIBLIOGRAPHICAL THEORIES AND PRINTING-HOUSE PRACTICES (Vol. 22), E. F. Shield's THE AMERICAN EDITIONS OF [Virginia Woolf's] MRS. DALLOWAY (Vol. 27, SEE PHOTOS), G. Thomas Tanselle's THE EDITORIAL PROBLEM OF FINAL AUTHORIAL INTENTION" (Vol. 29), Tanselle's THE CONCEPT OF IDEAL COPY (Vol. 33), etc. Fine condition. Sharp corners.

About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
