Order Nr. 79688

First edition. The proceedings from the inauguration of Brussels' Royal Library of Albert I. The speeches that were presented are published here--most in French, some in other languages. The theme of an academic colloquium accompanying the inauguration was "Large general libraries in the last quarter of the 20th century." Includes a list of participants. Modest shelf wear and soiling of edges. The wrapper has some fading and has separated a little (a half inch or less) where the front and back wrappers meet the hinge at the head of the spine. A loosely laid-in bookplate indicates that this copy came from the reference library and stock of H.P. Kraus.
