[Brian · Rating 4 out of 5]

A comprehensive introduction to book collecting covering books to collect, bindings and the history of printing, all well illustrated and topped off with a glossary. Well worth a read for anyone interested in the field but with lots to learn.

There you go - thinking about buying/selling books 20 years previously to actually doing it :)
