Bibliographical Catalogue Of First Editions, Proof Copies & Manuscripts Of Books By Lord Byron Exhibited At The Fourth Exhibition Held By The First Edition Club, January 1925
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
For “books on books” freaks like me, this is a fantastic read. Basically, it’s a detailed catalogue of all of Lord Byron’s published material known at the time of the First Editions Club conference in 1925. It pulled from two amazing collections, Mr. Wise and Mr. Murray (yes, of that Murray family). Explicit details of editions, layouts, sizes, signatures, etc. This is the hardcore stuff. I was a happy reader.
