Item description from seller

Print on Demand. In this book, bibliographer George Watson Cole investigates the fascinating world of bibliographical errors—mistakes that have crept into the records of books and their editions over time. The author examines two main causes: poor penmanship leading to printing errors, and misreadings of damaged or unclear imprints. Cole analyzes various examples of these errors, demonstrating how they have persisted in bibliographies due to repeated copying without verification. He also discusses the importance of locating actual copies of books to verify their existence and prevent the perpetuation of false information. This book highlights the complexities and challenges of compiling accurate bibliographical records, emphasizing the need for meticulous research and careful attention to detail. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
