Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Will H. Low (Cover Art) / Victor Pérard (Article) (illustrator). This is the September 1896 issue of "The Book Buyer", which announced on each cover that the magazine was "A Summary of American and Foreign Literature". This issue is particularly rich, not only in textual content, but, also, in illustrative accompaniment. The issue starts out with a piece on forgotten writer, William M. Sloane (author of "The Life of Napoleon"). Of particular interest for bibliophiles is the article on Thomas James Cobden-Sanderson, Proprietor of The Doves Bindery. Also of interest, for the artistically inclined, is an article on illustrator Victor Pérard. As to authors many are discussed, but there are specific articles on novelist Katherine Tynan Hinkson, and French author, Edmund de Goncourt (with photo-portraits for both). Many books that were currant on the market are mentioned, including new books by Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, and H. Rider Haggard. A photo-portrait of the son of Charles Dickens (Charles Dickens the Younger) is provided along with a brief sad notice of the son's death. TITLE : The Book Buyer ?

There is small surface loss to the head of the spine. There are small edge nicks and tears (none of which amount to much); on the rear cover is a small ink mark (not egregious). The front, bottom fore-edge corner is creased.
