Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book About Autographs From all available sources the writer has tried to gather whatever will help to give collectors something approaching an adequate knowledge of the taste for collecting autographs, and its progress from small be ginnings to the prominence it has now attained. In the belief that a portion of the subject which has hither to been neglected should receive proper consideration, much space is given to a detailed account of a number of the leading collections that have, in years past, made their appearance at public sales after the death of their owners. If this compilation shall prove acceptable, and in some respects useful, to those who have been led into the pursuit of the very delightful hobby and recreation that has so long been dear to the writer, he will feel that his labor has not been in vain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures With Books and Autographs This is the book for which the world has waited so long and patiently and to which all that has gone before has been in the nature of preparation. It has been in the making for over forty years, coinciding with the author 's term of service in this mortal penitentiary. He started taking notes for it at the age of two, observing attentively all that happened and resorting to eminent authorities, such as his mother and his nurse, for exposition and corroboration. In order to qualify himself for the task he studied penmanship, cultivating speed and inaccuracy until now he greatly prefers a letter written by a world-famous celebrity to one written by himself. For his possession of such marvelously acute powers of observation, which must impress the reader at the outset, the author can offer no explanation, but possible investigators may find significance in the fact that many years of his life were spent in riding on the New York subway, succeeded by other years spent in riding on the Illinois Central. His graces of style have been developed through conversation with his wife and diligent reading of the daily papers. En passant be it remarked that much useful information can be gleaned from the daily papers if one only knows where to look for it. Books have been much written about, but the literature of autograph collecting is familiar only to initiates. Until this work was written, the books on the subject were few and out standing (they still are). In 1918, Mr. A. Edward Newton, who was lying flat on his back under the Atlantic Monthly tree, trying to discover the secret of successful authorship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Among My Autographs There are no half-hours in my library so pleasant as those in which I go to the bookshelves that hold my little collection of first or early editions, the value of most of them enhanced for me by the autograph of the author, which I have been able to insert in the prized volume. To embellish a good book with the letter of the man who gave it to the world has been a delight of mine from my youth upwards. The hand that wrote the lines I read has been cold in the grave this many a year, but the words on the faded note-paper are still as the master penned them, and often they give a truer index to the man than all he wrote for print and reread and corrected as he passed it for press. Even where no clue to character is contained in the author's letter, there are little everyday details and incidents which reveal in a few lines more than all the pages of the professional biographer.

His was the blessed sense of humour, which, in the highest analysis, is only another name for understanding. He laughed at foibles, but he did not sit in judgment upon faults. He was a keen critic, but he was content to sift the wheat from the chaff without smother ing his readers in the dust of the controversial threshing-fioor. H e talked with his books and autographs rather than about them; and any interested bystander, who cared to join the friendly circle, was sure of a welcome; the only password was sympathy, the only quali fication, a measure of the host's own kindly tolerance. Overburdened with the many cares of his busy professional life, he yet made time and occasion for communion with the immortals, and in their noble company he found inexhaustible refreshment for both body and mind. And so, when he wrote about his books, and their makers, the domi nant note was that of an affectionate gratitude for benefits bestowed, for happiness conferred. His own literary work was a ministry of un. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
