Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 4to. Wrappers. Staples slightly rusty. From the library of the bookseller and crime writer George Sims. "In forty years as a dealer in rare books & manuscripts," recalled Sims in his essay "Dr. John Gordan" (A Life in Catalogues, 1994), "I encountered numerous librarians but the one who made the biggest impression on me was Dr. John Gordan, Curator of the Berg Collection at the New York Public Library." The Berg Collection, writes Gordan, "is attempting something new in its exhibitions. For the first time it is putting on view the work of a living author.".
