About this ebook
The New York Times described this 1899 volume as containing “a large amount of fascinating material about book auctions, book catalogues, lucky finds, hunting grounds, vagaries of collectors, comparisons of pricing, rules of the chase, glamour of bindings, and the auction block.” An authoritative yet gossipy discussion on the topic of book collecting.
