NEW ENGLAND IN EARLY PRINTED MAPS 1513 TO 1800, AN ILLUSTRATED CARTO-BIBLIOGRAPHY.
McCorkle, Barbara Backus
Foreword by Edward H. Dahl.
Limited to 1000 copies. As the first comprehensive, fully descriptive list of the printed maps of New England prior to 1800, this volume documents every effort to depict the area cartographically, including maps printed in the Netherlands, France, Germany, and Italy, as well as English and American maps. Designed to be a practical reference tool for historians, collectors, antiquarian map dealers and all lovers of early cartography, it offers descriptions of over 800 maps. With 455 black-and-white illustrations, quick visual identification of specific areas is possible. Includes indexes by title, by persons associated with the creation of the map, an annotated bibliography and a listing of individual state maps.

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.
