First edition (Besterman 5077). Spine and hinges with only the slightest hint of rubbing, else a tight, bright, and unmarred copy. Very scarce in this condition.

Hawkins attempted to collect the first printed works from as many different countries and cities of Europe as possible. Eventually, he acquired 540 books which are thorough described in this work by Pollard including information on the life and work of the different printers. With an index of towns, printers, authors and books. Beautifully printed on fine paper.
