Item description from seller

Sm.4to, (220x175mm), xxiv,91p. 2 facsimile illustrations. A good, clean ex-library copy in original paperback. The first directory of the English book trade and an invaluable work which lists members of the trade in London and the provinces, together with all the contemporary newspapers. Pollard's authoritative supporting text adds considerably to the worth of this fundamental source for the study of the British book trade at the end of the 18th century.

Store description

We are located some 20 minutes drive from the M6, Junction 38 and therefore only a 20 mile detour from the main England-Scotland route. Appleby is a town well worth a visit, the coffee pot is always on though refreshment with ¿a little more authority' can be had if the Crown & Cushion in the town's market square is open! Our Bookroom is open by appointment. We will be happy to send pdf copies of our catalogue by email.
