The Encyclopedia of Ephemera: A Guide to the Fragmentary Documents of Everyday Life for the Collector, Curator and Historian - Rilegato
Ephemera is the plural form of the Greek word ephemeron, which comes from "epi", meaning "on", "about" or "round", and "hemeron", meaning "day". Literally, it refers to something that lasts throughout the day, or, as Maurice Rickards proposed, the "minor transient documents of everyday life", although not every item of ephemera can be regarded as transient or even minor. Collectively the many entries in this reference seek to provide a better definition of ephemera, since they include manuscript and printed matter (football programmes, envelopes, visiting cards, ballot papers), records of the past and present (newspapers, cigarette cards, seed packets, ration papers), items designed to be thrown away (bus tickets, paper bags, cheese labels, beer mats), and to be kept (bookmarks, share certificates, playing cards, board games). The volume is intended for social historians, reference librarians, students of printing and graphic design and for collectors of ephemera who take a broader view than their own specialist field.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. All you wanted (needed?) to know about a wide range of ephemera (war and protest items, for example, are not covered) - not least the word's derivation and meaning. So everything from hat duty tax stamps to coachmen's instructions, Gretna Green marriage certificates to errata slips, 'zines etc is featured. Written descriptive segments are bolstered with b/w illustrations embedded throughout the text. There is also a sixteen colour plate section. The endpapers are neatly designed to consist of the hundreds of ephemeral topics covered (image). Condition: very sound overall - slight tanning possibly, though this may be the type of paper used. There is also a birthday dedication in blue ink, dated 2001, on the half title page. pp. 402/8vo (imperial octavo). Please note that, depending on destination, we may request an additional payment to cover any extra shipping/postage charges - such as in this case, the book's weight. .
