About this book
The Library concerns collectible books, the methods of preserving them, their enemies, and the places in which interested collectors may hunt for such volumes. The account identifies curiosity, beauty of type, paper, binding and illustrations, and rarity among the reasons such books are esteemed. The discussion places its emphasis on books rather than literature, and on bibliography rather than criticism.
The discussion of collecting manuscripts values an imperfect manuscript in a genuine state above one made perfect by a modern restorer. The book's title page names Andrew Lang and identifies a chapter on modern English illustrated books by Austin Dobson.
