From the preface: "In the pages that follow, I have first of all dealt with the illustrated books which appeared during the first decade of the existence of the printing press in Spain. I have followed this with an outline of the work at each important town until the end of the fifteenth century. Where the work of individual printers has overlapped into the sixteenth century, it has been treated, for the purposes of convenience, in this first part, a portion of which formed a paper on the subject, which I had the honour of reading last year to my fellow- members of the Bibliographical Society. The work in the sixteenth century, dealt with in the second part, has been limited, almost entirely, to those printers whose work was confined to that century. Copy no. 241. An ex-library copy with a small sticker on the front board and a label on the front pastedown endpaper, blindstamp on prelims and last page, small library acquisition slip tipped-in, spine slightly finger-soiled otherwise Near Very Good.
