Reprint. []3 volumes in 1]. Thick 8vo. xii, 449; [ii]-vii, [1], 412; [2], v-vi, 115, [1] pp. Frontis. portrait., figs. Goldenrod gilt-stamped cloth, dust jacket. Very good. "Describing roughly 10,000 books, pamphlets and periodicals, this was the first detailed, annotated bibliography of the history of printing, and one of the earliest comprehensive annotated bibliographies of any technical subject. It was completed with the assistance of printer, historian of printing, bibliographer and book collector William Blades, and the assistance of printer and American printing historian Theodore Low De Vinne, whose historical treatise, The Invention of Printing. A Collection of Facts and Opinions was first published in 1876, and others. In particular Blades, the greatest English scholar printer of his time, turned over to the authors his comprehensive notes for a bibliography of the subject which Blades had long planned, but instead chose to have incorporated into Bigmore and Wyman's project." â " Norman.
