Synopsis
Step inside a vanished private library, shelf by shelf, as Pittsburgh collector Joseph B. Shea's books are opened to view for the last time. These books tell his story. The Library Collected by the Late Joseph B. Shea, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (Part II) preserves the original rare book catalog of the Joseph B. Shea library, created to document a remarkable private collection auction in historic Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. More than a simple private library inventory or antiquarian book list, it maps the contours of a historic American library: authors, subjects, editions, and the tastes of one serious reader. For anyone fascinated by American book collecting, the pleasure lies in browsing entry after entry, tracing how one man assembled his world in books. As a bibliographic reference work, this volume offers solid, period descriptions that are invaluable for rare book dealers, a dependable reference for librarians, and a rich resource for students of book history and provenance. It captures a distinctive moment in regional culture, linking titles and imprints to a particular place, time, and sensibility. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike, whether they come as casual browsers, dedicated cataloguers, or lovers of historic print.
