Cloth, 8vo, 22 cm, ix, [1], 228 pp, ills, facs. From the blurb: "The Primer was originally written for the nonaffluent collector, and this is still true. The book is not, however, a words-of-one syllable treatment of the subject ; it assumes a reader already acquainted with books, who can tell the good ones from the bad. It is not concerned with literary criticism or evaluation, but seeks to acquaint the reader with the book as an artifact, to explain the rudiments of bibliographic research, and to point the road along which the collector should guide his steps to the goals of his own choice. The volume is divided into two parts: The Quarry and The Chase. Part One discusses first editions, association books, the factors that determined book's scarcity or commonness, and the importance of physical condition. Part Two explains how a collector, big or small, goes about the prosecution of his search, and how he learns to familiarize himself with the niceties of first issues and second issues. It also discusses the economic phases of the collecting phenomenon. New material covers the "knowledge explosion" and goes into the developing areas claiming collectors' attention - science, architecture, medicine, military and political affairs, engineering and such interests -in addition to the traditional field of belles-lettres, Americana, and the art of printing."
