(Libraries) Nelson, Bonnie R. A GUIDE TO PUBLISHED LIBRARY CATALOGS.
Metuchen Scarecrow 1982 8vo. polished cloth. xvi, 342 pages.
429 published library catalogues (in book form) from about 1960 to 1981, mostly of American libraries. Listing arranged by 33 general categories and then alphabetically. Each numbered entry discusses the subject coverage and structure of the catalogue. Little is said about the actual form of the publications; presumably most are of the photocopied-card-catalogue-card variety. The introduction discusses different types of catalogues and the probable effects of computer technology (with the necessity of standardization), concluding that "variety of Catalogues that resulted from the great philosophical debates of the ninteenth century will be unlikely to survive the new technology..." p.xvi. With index.

London The Library 1888 large 8vo. original polished cloth, top edge tinted. xvi, 1161 pages.
Fifth edition. This copy lacks the separately issued appendix. The London Library is today the largest private, nonacademic lending library in the world (cf. Basbanes, N.A.: "The More Things Stay the Same" in: BIBLIO, vol.4, no.1, Jan. '99, p. 10-12), founded on an initiative of Thomas Carlyle in 1840 or 1841, to fill the need for a ciculating library of "serious literature" with liberal borrowing policies. Dickens, Thackeray, Eliot, T.H. Huxley et al. were among its members, and Tennyson is listed in this 1888 publication as "president." This catalogue of books acquired through 1885 lists roughly 50,000 titles. Entries are alphabetical by author/title in the terse form common to many older book catalogues, which were essentially lists or checklists. Recased with new endpapers. Some rubbing and soiling; corners worn.
