First U.S. Edition. Near fine in near fine jacket. Part detective story, part history lesson, part exposé, The Book of Lost Books is the first guide to literature's what-ifs and never-weres. In compulsively readable fashion, Stuart Kelly reveals details about tantalizing vanished works by the famous, the acclaimed, and the influential, from the time of cave drawings to the late twentith century. From the Thomas M. Whitehead Collection of Books About Books.
