The Anatomy of Bibliomania. 2 volumes complete – Holbrook Jackson
London: The Soncino Press, 1930-1931. 2 volumes: Vol I: xi, 419 pages; Vol II: xi, 434 pages. 23.2cm x 14.5cm. Red cloth binding with gilt lettered spines, and gilt top edges. No dust jacket. First, limited and numbered edition of this essential work about book collecting and reading, this being No. 29 out of 1048. It is written in the style of the 17th-century prose master, Robert Burton, whose The Anatomy of Melancholy served as inspiration.
Rubbing, bumping, and wear to the boards and spine. Pencil markings on both front endpapers on Vol I. Browning and spotting on the edges and throughout in both volumes. The text is bright and clear, and the binding is solid in both volumes. Overall, a nice set in very good condition.
