Item description from seller

Cloth, 4to, 24 cm, 224 pp, 750 illustrations, including 300 in colour. From the blurb: "The importance of printed ephemera is now increasingly recognized by collectors, curators and historians. Yet with its vast range of subject-matter, this fascinating material presents its own special challenges and problems. In this comprehensive introduction to all aspects of the field, a leading authority provides information and guidance that will be invaluable for all those involved in collecting, conserving and studying ephemera. The book is in two parts. In the first, Maurice Rickards analyses the many-faceted appeal of ephemera to the collector and the historian, and discusses its value as historical evidence. He next looks at the sources of supply and at prices and market trends. Finally he turns to technical matters - repair and conservation, display, and the problems of classification, storage and cataloguing. Part Two is a richly illustrated and colourful survey of the whole field. Organized in three sections - Printing Processes, Categories and Themes - it reviews the phenomenal range of material available, and demonstrates the many different approaches and interests that coalesce in the collecting and preserving of printed ephemera." Very Good in a dustwrapper which has a minor tear and a price sticker on the rear panel. …
