A propos de cet article

A 1O PAGE HISTORICAL PREFACE BY QUARITCH. AND AN 8 PAGE INDEX This catalogue was the result of 20 years of assiduous gathering by Quaritch. It has to be one of the only catalogues ever to offer the 1454 Mentz Gutenberg-Fust Bible (The Mazarine Bible) for sale to the public for 5,000 pounds. OTHER THAN A 3/4"X 1/4" PIECE MISSING AT THE TOP OF THE SPINE, NOT AFFECTING THE SPINE TITLES, SOME SLIGHT LOSS AT THE HEEL OF THE SPINE AND THE BOTTOM FRONT FORE-EDGE CORNER, AND LIGHT EVEN DUST SOILING, A COMPLETE INTACT COPY IN THE ORIGINAL PUBLISHERS PRINTED WRAPS, AND A RARE SURVIVAL OF ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK CATALOGUES EVER COMPILED BY ANY BOOKSELLER. VERY GOOD IN ORIGINAL PRINTED WRAPS.
