The Care of Books is an engaging text, considering not only the preservation of books, but also their physical ordering. Clark draws on archival and archaeological sources, displaying his wide range of interests. Clark writes in the Preface that 'The subject was entirely new' and all the illustrations were purchased, commissioned or photographed by him for the 1901 publication. This edition comes with over 150 illustrations, over 500 footnotes and the original index.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
