About This Item
Oxford University Press, 1987-01-29. Hardcover. Good. 1986 second edition, revised and enlarged, The Bibliographical Society (London), 9 3/4 x 12 1/2 inches tall blue cloth hardcover in publisher's unclipped dust jacket, gilt lettering to spine, liii, 620 pp. Very slight soiling and rubbing to covers, with slight bumping to rear cover's tips, but heavy bumping to the front tips, with resultant slight creasing to a few adjacent page tips. Otherwise, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked - in a very slightly soiled and edgeworn dust jacket which has a couple of small edge tears but which is nicely preserved and displayed in a clear archival Brodart sleeve. Note that this is a heavy and oversized book, so additional postage will be required for international or priority orders. ~QQQ~ [6.0P] In 1926 the Bibliographical Society published the first edition of A Short-Title Catalogue of Books Printed in England, Scotland and Ireland and of English Books Printed Abroad 1475-1640. Now universally known as 'STC,' it has become indispensable to historians, literary scholars, and bibliographers, whose work involves printed sources before the Civil War. The second part of this edition (I-Z) was the first to be published in 1976: this Volume I covering A-H completes the main text; it was followed by a third volume, containing the addenda and supplementary materials.
