Private Library librarianship 1897 FA
The Private Library by Arthur L Humphreys .VGC 1897 Strangeways & Son
Hatchards 187 Piccadily London.Appropriately enough there are two small library stamps on blank endpapers,otherwise a great copy. This really is an exquisite and ultra rare book for the bibliophile,especially one with a stately pile to fill! The author states that having visited various Country Houses he has found the state of these private libraries to be lacking in various ways. He deplores the inability of the servants to handle books properly , and the general state of these collections.He is also dismayed at the fact that many owners pay more attention to their billiard rooms than their library. Basically a lovely vintage book on the running of a old style private library. Some subjects :- What is a GOOD edition / On the care of books /Classification / Bookbinding / Boudoir libraries / The Catalogue / Old Country libraries / A Library Annexe / Miscellaneous Appliances / Mr Ruskins Advice / Bookcases / Library Architecture / A Librarian etc. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...e=STRK:MESE:IT |
