Synopsis
In this highly-illustrated account, Nicolas Barker reveals the history of the British Library's treasure house of books and manuscripts. The Library's holdings cover collections spanning almost three millennia, from the establishment of the British Museum, which brought together the libraries of Sir Hans Sloane, Sir Robert Cotton and Robert Harley, first Earl of Oxford, to the foundation of the British Library in 1973 and to some outstanding acquisitions of the present day.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Many (illustrator). 2nd Edition. Not surprising that a book collector has books about book collecting. But this one is letting his collection go so I guess the time has come to let these books go as well. Please find: "Treasures of the British Library" compiled by Nicolas Barker and the Curatorial Staff of the British Library in London. This is the softcover version, published by the Library in 1996. The book has 272 pages, many of which have illustrations, both in color and b&w. Condition: This book is in very good condition. There has been some bumping to the corners and spine tips, but nothing too severe. Inside, the book is unmarked and the pages and many plates are clean and bright throughout, without toning or foxing. The binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.
