THE LIBRARY OF JOHN QUINN.
12,096 lots described. Cannon says in his AMERICAN BOOK COLLECTORS that this catalogue is "one of the most interesting and useful of present day bibliographies. Not only was his collection of "firsts" of many authors complete enough to constitute virtually a check list, but the biographical sketches that precede each author's works ... give it a literary flavor that well rewards a casual reading." This copy has been completely priced in pencil in the margins and many buyers' names written in for parts 4-5. With John Quinn's bookplate mounted on front free endpaper although we doubt that this was in own copy.
