Download or read book The Book Fancier written by Percy Fitzgerald and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book Fancier: Or, the Romance of Book Collecting Within the last few years there has been a revival of the old and elegant taste of the book-fancier, as well as of that passion or faith which is described with such amiable enthusiasm in the little tract of the worthy Bishop Richard of Bury. The history and pedigree of books, of printers, &c., has always been a favourite study with the learned, attested by the profound and scholarly treatises of the Panzers, Hains, de Bures, Brunets, and our own Lowndes. But this subject has its popular graces also, and there is a sort of romantic interest attached to all that is associated with books - the rare old edition, the old printer, the blear-eyed collector, the binder, the sale, and the stray survivor of a whole edition, by some miracle preserved to our time. These topics seemed to kindle such writers as the late Dr. Hill Burton - perhaps the first in our time to deal popularly with such matters; Mr. Andrew Lang being the latest to illustrate this subject from his abundant stores of knowledge. Having from the earliest date had a taste for this fascinating pursuit - and when a boy I formed a very respectable collection of Elzevirs, and looked on auction days as festivals - I have ventured to add my contribution to the rest. This little volume will be found to contain many curious and interesting things not readily accessible, and deals in some fashion with almost everything that is connected with "book."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Book-Collecting There are plenty of people - in fact, they are in the great majority even among bookish men - who regard antiquated sale-catalogues in the light of such much rubbish, and yet, when intelligently consulted, these memorials of a bygone day not only have their uses, but are positively interesting. Truly enough they are not popular, like the last new novel which, for one reason or another, has taken the town by storm, and it would not pay to reprint a single one of them, even the best or most important that has ever held the frequenters of auction-rooms spell-bound. Sometimes a 'parcel' will be sold for what it will fetch, and on investigation may prove to contain a few simple-minded pamphlets on subjects of no importance, 'and others, ' the latter consisting of book-catalogues of the last or the earlier portion of the present century.

Download or read book Collecting by Letter Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by William A. Shryer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collecting by Letter, Vol. 1 Through the entire fabric of modern business are woven the endless threads of credit and collections. Every business is founded on credit and supported by its collections. In direct proportion to the intelligence and understanding with which these two important features are dealt a business is successful. Certain principles and rules of action have grown out of the long practice of these important phases of trade, but we may claim for neither that it is an exact science. There is no dependable literature on either subject generally available for the average business man, although the Course on Scientific Collections published by The American Collection Service of Detroit covers the entire field exhaustively. This course was designed to train men in the collection agency field, and its distribution has been largely confined to men in this profession. This course may be secured by those interested in possessing a thorough treatment of this important subject, however, and the wealth of its collection instruction will be found highly profitable to any business man. The purpose of the present volumes is to afford an insight into the principles underlying collections by letter. From time to time various so-called books of collection letters have been published, but aside from containing an unrelated mass of commonplace form letters of doubtful value, few have contained the slightest degree of merit, or commended themselves to the intelligence of the thoughtful or aggressive business man.

Download or read book The Print Collector s Handbook Classic Reprint written by Alfred Whitman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Print-Collector's Handbook IN the following pages an attempt is made to supply answers to some of the many questions that a number of years' experience has shown to be those most frequently asked by art amateurs at the commencement of their print-collecting, and also by those who have devoted some time and attention to the pursuit of their hobby. In consequence of the limitation of a single volume like the present one, it has been thought best to refrain from commenting upon the etchings and engravings of living artists whose place in art is not yet definitely fixed. Most of the illustrations have been made by the half-tone process; but in order that collectors may more closely examine the actual technique of the different methods of engraving, specimens of the various styles have been reproduced in collotype. In this latter process no screen or visible foreign grain intervenes to impair or destroy the texture of the original work, and the results are therefore as faithful as a mechanical process will yield. These collotype reproductions can be easily identified by reference to the List of Illustrations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book Collector Should like to warn you, from the outset, that this I essay will be as lively as a speech by Mathurin Cordier1 or a chapter of Despautere!2 God, Nature, and the Academy have enclosed my imagination within these narrow bound aries, which it is no longer able to overstep. At least you can always refrain from reading me, and in that are more fortunate than I who, following the dictates of a too exigent publisher, have no choice but to write. The draw ings were made, the plates were ready; and the only thing needed to complete the issue was a long and unprofitable text. Well, then here 1t is! But you will be disappointed if you expect to find in it one of those clever portraits to which your favorite authors have accustomed you. If what you are seeking is an original and telling sketch of the bouquz'm'ste, the second-hand-book addict, then you need go no further. Pause here, and, following the modest advice of certain almanacs: See illustration on opposite page. The collector of books is a type which we would do well to define, since everything points to his disappearance in the very near future. The printed book has existed at the most for some four hundred years, yet books are already accumulating in some countries in a manner that threatens the very equilibrium of the globe. Civilization has reached the most unexpected of its ages, the age of paper. Now that everyone writes books, no one Shows any particular eager ness to buy them. Besides, our young authors are well onthe way to building up whole libraries for themselves out of their own works. They need only be left to their own devices.
