Book Description
From Book News, Inc. An essay collection delighting in the discovery of rare books, and anecdotes related to their publishing. Colin (publisher and bookseller) loves books, and each essay conveys the intimacy he feels toward his collection and that of
the Armstrong Browning Library in Texas from which he draws inspiration on the topics of 18th century editions of Shakespeare, John Baptist Jackson and Chiaroscuro, D.G.Rossetti's ghost story, and the deeds and misdeeds of the Brownings' publishers.
Lacks an index and bibliography. Distributed by Ashgate. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
