Book
Cloth, folio, ix, 452 pp. From the introduction: "The Kent Bibliography. should prove to be of major importance to scholars, researchers and librarians in the field of local studies. Kent, the 'Gateway to England', with many printed and documented sources, is a model area for such research, and the bibliography gives access to the printed material on all aspects of the county. The entries, which cover the holdings as at the 31st March 1973 in all the public libraries of Kent and the adjoining London Boroughs, are arranged in one main A-Z sequence of place and subject, taking up 372 pages. An 80 page index of authors, publishers and those titles which do not indicate the subject of the entry is included, allowing the researcher to investigate the material from several different aspects. Each main entry includes library locations, so that the bibliography can be used as a finding list, and the material consulted directly." Top edge heavily spotted and fore-edge with minor spotting, otherwise Very Good in used dustwrapper.

Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, xiv, 242 pp. From the blurb: "This new impression of John Carter's Taste & Technique in Book Collecting: A study of recent developments in Great Britain and the United States (the Sandars Lectures for 1947) has added to it a substantial epilogue: viz., the presidential address delivered to the Bibliographical Society in 1969, in which Mr Carter cast a reflective and not invariably respectful eye on the trends, conditions and personalities of the intervening twenty years. There are also three pages of corrections and notes, including some prepared in 1974, two years before the author's death. English reviewers of the original edition called it 'the perfect combination of formidable learning with grace and wit' (The Bookseller) 'this fascinating, witty and provocative book' (Percy H. Muir in The Clique), 'deeply informed, thoughtful, provocative and - let me add - as entertaining as it is instructive' (John Hayward on the BBC Third Programme). As for the United States, Cotton Storm in The Papers of tne Bibliographical Society of America roundly declared that 'the fact is very simple that no book-collector, amateur or adept, should be without a copy'." Boards slightly spotted, otherwise Near Very Good in slightly used and price-clipped dustwrapper.
