Item description from seller

New York: The Bibliographical Society of America, 1964. 2 volumes, complete. Both appear unread. These are the original first editions (1964 and 1972) -- NOT print on demand edition or modern reprint. Near Fine condition. Spines are uniformly sunned, but only slightly. Sharp corners. NOT a library discard. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are crisp, clean and unmarked -- apparently seldom, if ever read. NO foxing. Many copies of the basic volume were destroyed by fire. Both volumes are bound in the original gilt-stamped reddish cloth. Top edge speckled, as issued. This heavy 2 volume set will require extra postage for Priority and International shipments. But for media mail, you pay only our standard charge for 1 volume and we ship the second volume at no extra cost. From a review: "Goff, as was Stillwell, is not only a list of locations, but an unequalled source of information, the best and handiest single work of reference for everyone concerned with 15th-century printing, from novices, scholars in other fields, or smaller booksellers, to the great dealers, the great collectors, or incunabulists in great libraries. Here, in one volume and one moment, we find standard forms for authors' and printers' names, correct titles and contents of books, reliable assignments of press and date, notices of other descriptions, and references to articles and monographs.". First Editions. Oversize Hardcover. Near Fine condition/No dust jackets, as issued. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 2 volumes: 861pp/116pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Store description

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
