9,620 priced, numbered entries in one alphabetical listing, mostly by author or title. Related items may be grouped together under one term or phrase--e.g. manuscripts appear under "manuscripts" and publications of the Shakespeare Society under "Shakespeare Society," but there is generally no special treatment of subgroups, despite the implications of the title. The method for entry under name is that common at the time: for ex., Rasselas by Dr. Johnson is given as "Johnson's (Dr.) Rasselas." Mounted on the back pastedown is a list of prices charged for binding. Covers age darkened and spotted with wear.
