Item description from seller

The first separate edition of this essay, which was originally printed in a 1955 issue of the periodical 'The Book Collector'. This copy inscribed on the upper wrapper "with the author's compliments S.T. 16.7.75", and also with the year of the original Book Collector appearance added in ink. Slim 8vo. 7pp stapled into lettered wrappers. Illustrated with three plates. The staple rusted, and with a touch of light spotting to the wrapper margins. A very good copy of this offprint of Roscoe's important bibliographic essay, where he assigns titles to Marhsall's originally untitled miniature children's books ('The Infant's Library' is one of the earliest and most famous examples of a miniature library designed specifically for children). [A light item, UK postage will be reduced].
