232 pgs.,8 vo. Green cloth binding with some ink spots on front cover, and marginally stained 1st endsheet. Also 2 private owner bookplates, one pasted over the other ! An ironic fate for the book since the author also wrote a book care guide called "The Enemies of Books" in his lifetime. This copy has had reading wear, and notes were taken on the margins, occasionally, and on the rear endsheet. Chamfered boards, issued as a title in the Book-Lover's Library Series, printed on paper that has aged fairly heavily. Still a readable copy of the original printing. First edition. apparently, this being a collection of his occasional writings that was issued posthumously. Seller Inventory # 1413
