Focusing on the principles of bibliography, this 1928 work is based on the Sandars Lectures delivered in 1926. It explores the foundational concepts and methodologies that underpin the study of bibliographic practices, offering insights into the organization and classification of texts. The book serves as a significant contribution to the field, reflecting the academic discourse of its time.
This book, first published in 1931, first examines the many processes that go to the making of a book – paper, printing, illustration and binding – then lists with running commentary 300 or so important works of reference, and an account of the principles and arrangements of bibliographies.
