Rosenbach was loaned $79,000 by Bill Ellis (a cousin of Harry B. Widener) to buy the Smith collection in 1915. Covers are very fragile, chipped and barely attached. The interior pages are somewhat rubbed from handling, but Very Good Plus or better. The catalogue is now in a 4mil clear mylar archival protective envelope.
