About This Item
Mansfield Centre, Connecticut: Martino Fine Books BRAND NEW in perfect condition. STILL SEALED in the publisher's clear plastic SHRINKWRAP. NO rubbing. NO fading. Bright, clean, square and tight. Sharp corners. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Fresh and crisp -- obviously never read. Limited Edition facsimile reprint of the 1962 Revised & Enlarged edition. This is still the premier Americana reference. Described here are 11,620 uncommon and significant books relating to the United States. Moebs: "This is the best single volume work in the field of Americana bibliographies. It is an education of vast proportion. No Americana collector should be without a copy. It deserves daily reading." Tanselle Basic Collection #2. [NOTE: This 1962 edition is still a necessary reference even though a new edition, revised by William Hartley and entitled, WRIGHT HOWES: THE FINAL EDITION OF USIANA was published in 1994. It added 125 new titles. Unfortunately, it also deleted 50 books. Worse yet the 1994 edition's entries were completely renumbered. Because the 1962 edition of Howes was the standard reference for the previous three decades, renumbering in the 1994 edition seriously complicates finding citations to the previous edition that are found in thousands of books, dealer catalogues, etc.] Bound in the original gold-stamped gray cloth.. Reprint of 1962 Revised & Enlarged ed.. Hardcover. New/in publisher's shrinkwrap. 652pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

About About Books
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).
