PRINCIPLES OF BIBLIOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION
Bowers, Fredson
With a new introduction by G. Thomas Tanselle.
Reprint of the first edition. One of the indisputable classics of 20th-century scholarship, Bowers's work is one of the standard guides on the subject, providing a comprehensive manual for the description of printed books as physical objects. Although there has been much activity in descriptive bibliography since then, Principles still holds its place as the central book to which those engaged in bibliographical work continually return.

THOMAS SHORT AND THE FIRST BOOK PRINTED IN CONNECTICUT.
by Johnson, Foster M.
Limited to 50 numbered copies, being a Keepsake for the Columbiad Club (Not in Leaf Book - Chalmers). The booklet provides a biography of the printer, Thomas Short, information on the printing history of this 1708 imprint, and a six-page facsimile. Loosely inserted in a pocket is an actual leaf from the "Saybrook Platform" of 1710 taken from Harold Hugo's defective and broken-up copy. Hugo printed the collotype reproductions in this book. Not in the recently published bibliography of leaf books (Disbound and Dispersed, distributed by Oak Knoll Press for the Caxton Club). An extremely scarce book.
