Item description from seller

Cloth, 8vo, 20 cm, xiii, 226, pp. Rosenblum: "In Part 1, 'The Quarry,' Winterich talks about collectible books and explains what makes them desirable. Part 2. 'The Chase,' shows the novice how to acquire the items treated earlier. Winterich explains that book collecting is not exclusively an avocation (or vocation) of the rich; there are many types of book collecting that can prove spiritually and even financially rewarding. A charmingly informative work with advice that is still applicable despite the book's age." Signed by the authors on the front free endpaper. Bookplate on front pastedown endpaper, Near Fine in Very Good dustwrapper.
