8vo, pp. 102; erratum slip inserted prior to B1; half green morocco, joints and extremities rubbed; a good, sound copy. Jackson 82: "Mercurius Rusticus and Cato Parvus were pseudonyms used by Dibdin in the Bibliomania. Owing to the agitation regarding Reform, and perhaps also because of cholera epidemics, the rare book market appeared to Dibdin to be very low indeed. His diatribe was touched off by the absurdly inadequate prices that the original manuscripts of the Waverley Novels fetched at Evans' sale, 19 August 1831. Dibdin's natural optimism made him prophesy that the depression in books would not last long . One hundred copies of this book printed on large paper were issued.".

First Edition Signed
Original boards, title-labels to front board and spine, 8vo, 102 pp, errata slip at p17. Dibdin's survey of the state of the book trade in Bibliophobia came against the backdrop of his own difficult financial circumstances. The particular spur to publication was the ludicrously low prices realized at a sale by Evans on 19 August 1831 of some 13 manuscripts of Scott's novels: hoping to improve on an offer of £1000 for the manuscripts, the owners consigned them to auction but realized little over £300. Dibdin laments this and numerous other exmples of shockingly low prices, attributing the state of the market not just to a shortage of money but also altered tastes influenced by the impending Reform Bill and the cholera. Dibdin nevertheless manages to end on a note of optimism, certain that the tide will turn: it did, of course, but not in his own lifetime. Presentation Copy, inscribed by Dibdin on a front endpaper: " - Morgan Esq., From the Author". Loosely inserted is an autograph letter of Dibdin, signed, to a Mr Nugee at 20 St James Street proposing to call on him to collect "two precious documents" (written on first 2 pages of a single sheet folded once). Francis Nugee "tailor, &c." is listed at 20 St. James's Street, Pall Mall in the 1843 London Post Office directory, and other correspondence exists showing him to have been Dibdin's tailor. Small circular blindstamp on front free endpaper "Ex Bibliotheca Dr Detlev Mauss", partly cutting the leaf. Slight wear to head of spine, minor marks to boards, some foxing throughout, otherwise Good.

First Edition
London: Bohn, 1832. 8vo, [1-5], 6-102pp, with the errata slip at p. 17 and the . Original pink boards, brown paper backstrip, with original printed label on upper cover. Slight waterstaining around board edges, otherwise a fine copy with the bookplate and pencil notes of Michael Sadleir and another at the front. § First edition. 100 copies of the large-paper edition printed, so stated on the verso of the title-page [A1b] 'Of this Pamphlet there are 100 Copies printed upon | LARGE PAPER?for the sake of "those whom it may con- | cern."' This note is also printed in the regular issue, the quantity of which is unknown. Jackson notes copies with an errata slip tipped-in at p.17, present in this copy. There is an additional slip at p.90 of the same size and style as the errata slip, which reads 'Page 90. | A Copper-plate Engraving, in the line manner, of ARCHBISHOP | PARKER'S Salt Cellar?of one half the size of the original?may | be had of the Publisher, price 2s. 6d.' in Barlow's and Priddy's large-paper copies. Rabaiotti reported similarly for one of his copies (both now at Wormsley Library), adding, 'This plate, engraved by P. Audinet, and published by John Major on August 15, 1835, is to be found regularly inserted at p. xi of the Reminiscences, Vol. I. It would seem evident, therefore, that Bibliophobia was not out of print for several years after publication - or at least that John Major overstocked the item on Bohn's publication of it.' Windle and Pippin A60. P. 61: "You come , Sir, (said he), at a sad, sad time -- when my books are hanging down their heads and there is nobody to pat and cheer them.".
