Dieci regole per falsificare libri. Scelte da Marino Massimo De Caro, con una prefazione polemica di Giuliano Ferrara by De Caro, Marino Massimo, b. 1973 - 2020

¶ Chutzpah: "Un libro sui libri falsi, scritto da un falsario, stampato in un falso luogo di stampa (Amstelodami, come nell'antichità) e con un marchio editoriale (quello di Aldo Manuzio) contraffatto, quindi falso." (S. Berni, Gingko 2020.01.11.) The title-page reads scelte; the cover has scielte, which was Aldo's spelling. The imprint "èinaudito" is a pun on Einaudi and è inaudito "it is unheard of". ·

¶ First edition (only edition), one of only 150 numbered copies distributed mostly at the Milan book fair 18-19 January 2020 and quickly exhausted. The present copy is numbered LXIV. It was acquired in the rare-book trade April 2020. Thus its purchase here will not enrich Sig. De Caro. —
