Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Philadelphia: Philadelphia Rare Books and Manuscripts Company. No Date; circa 2001. Quarto, glossy white stapled wraps, 24 pp. (but see notes below). Near Fine; fine but for toning at cover perimeter. See scan. This is, however, an "error" copy, misprinted such that it starts at the front and the back - both with the front cover, inverted (relative to each other); from each cover the pages then proceed until they meet, which is after page 16 in one direction and after page 8 in the other. Prices and of course thorough bibliographic descriptions, as always, but the number of intended lots is not determinable here because of the misprinting. Certainly, a scarcity within the bibliographic genre. L-G1. …

publisher's cloth. 8vo. publisher's cloth. ix, 135, (4) pages. Edited by Cynthia Davis Buffington. Limited to 250 numbered copies. As-new condition. Printing in North America began not in 1640 in Massachusetts, but in 1539, in Mexico, at a point in printing history when technique, typography, and aesthetic norms were widely first-rate. The European printers who came to the New World to produce the "incunables" and other "early printed" works of Mexico and Peru maintained the high standards of their homelands in a degree that astonishes those whoe understanding of early American printing has been based purely on familiarity with the works produced a hundred and more years later in what is now the U.S. Thirty-nine Books and Broadsides describes works that well represent the earliest Mexican printing, the rarities including 14 New World incunabula, 9 the only known surviving copies (3 described for the first time), several second known and several more earliest known copies, and a number of works with woodcut illustrations - all from a major private collection. All entries are illustrated and provide exact collations; notably, the bibliography provides the very first accurate system of description for 16-century New World broadsides. Each item fully described bibliographicaly and illustrated as well. From the reference library of Philadelphia Rare Books & Manuscripts with their bookplate included.…
